For the people who say online dating doesn't work

If you are one of those guys swiping everyone right on Tinder, chances are you’re not going to get very far in terms of a long term relationship if that is indeed what you want. Likewise, if you’re the girl who sets up a ton of OK Cupid dates only to flake on most and half-heartedly go out with the others, a long term relationship is probably going to be more challenging.

I know, I know: It is kind of frightening to hone in on what you want and then actively pursue it and even scarier to (gasp!) be vulnerable with people you’ve only just met and let them know where you stand. But guys, it really is worth it.

Online dating is not making us bad at relationships. We are making us bad at relationships. Don’t mistake the ease of profile clicking to mean that dating is easy….Because it really isn’t - no matter where you meet your date.
