Cons to Singles Dating Washington DC

Aside from the many upsides to Singles Dating Washington DC, there are many pitfalls as well.  The worst thing about dating is that we too easily have unrealistic expectations about how a date will go or who someone is.  Of course, we all dream about that gorgeous, fit, successful person who does everything right, has nine million romantic bones in their body, will never cheat, always have dinner ready for you on time as soon as you get off work, pay for every date, always wash behind their ears, and on and on.  However, that is just not how it is.  Sometimes, people fart or have a booger.  Sometimes, the OTHER person should pay for a date.  We hardly ever think about things like these when we are excited to meet someone new because we are just so ready to meet mister or misses perfect.

Another con to online singles dating is that people are not always who they seem to be.  This is probably understandable.  After all, would YOU put on your dating profile that you have halitosis, a very extreme fear of cats or anything kitten-like, or that you drive your mother and father's station wagon because you can not afford a car of your own?  I did not think so.  That's why the only thing you will learn about a person from their dating profile is that they are five feet eleven or taller (for men) or five feet six or shorter (for women), they have an "average" (kind of chunky) or "slim" (toothpick) body type, and they like to take long walks on the beach and read fictional romance novels (oh, right).

The worst con of Singles Dating Washington DC online that we all dread is that the person or people who we do NOT want to see our dating profiles, will.  What do you do when your newly divorced parent, single boss, ex boyfriend, or that person you hate comes across your dating profile?  With all your "looking for"s and "interested in"s, alluring photos, exaggerations, and so forth.  Try explaining to mom that your  leather fetish was a typo and that what you meant to say was that you have a FEATHER fetish and you are secretly obsessed with birds?  Or when your ex starts stalking you and your boss is asking you why your arch enemy posted those naked "friend finder" photos of you all over the office building?
