As an author on the topic and a mentor to women involved in online dating, I try to keep up with both the thoughts that underpin the activity and the reality of it. Recently I ran across an article that dealt (and dealt well) with a number of topics, including the one which forms the basis of this article. What is real and what isn't, in online dating? What role does how you meet play in the outcome? Speaking of the early stage of the "get acquainted" process and the typical email exchanges, the author states:"By simplifying interactions through the elimination of body language, nonverbal cues, and even environmental influences, the elements of risk are reduced and self-disclosure becomes easier to many...While this aspect may seem as an advantage to the impatient, the speed tends to create a dis- proportionate level of perceived intimacy, a sort of cognitive attraction separate from reality..."The article was written by someone under a pseudonym, so we can't know (for certain) the author's agenda.
