Yes Joey, it's precisely like that. I think that the faster you get to meet them in real life, the better. People behave differently online vs real life. It's never good to sit on long online interactions because you end up projecting and creating a halo around the person which might be far from the truth. I strongly believe that those who search for a serious commitment would not lose time in the online, they would rather observe the person in their real life.
Even though the quest for love has turned into a shallow chase for likes for some people I still believe in it as a concept.

It can be easier to develop a deceptive persona online than it has been in some ways offline which performers can struggle with a double life even in real life. But the Internet adds to the difficulty.
Internet Drug
The Internet can be for most people most of the time like a drug. Online dating would be like ordering a metal detector online. But imagine it stays in the shopping cart. Imagine it is never bought. Imagine that it is never delivered.
Never Using the Metal Detector
Imagine never ever using the metal detector in order to find metal, gold, silver, etc.
Wall-E Impostor
The Internet is kind of like the fat people in WALL-E or the people inside the Matrix. They may like it but they may be missing out on what life has to offer. People can focus too much on the Internet which can be a substitution for the real thing.
Meaning to Life
Absolutely, the quest for love is a fabric to the very meaning and essence to life itself.
I agree that Internet can become a drug if abused. Real people are different than online people, the reality always confirmed me this
YouTubers especially see this, the crazy comments.
Oh I can imagine how it must feel scrolling through so many...
Exactly, Mary.
Online connections begin by wanting to please the opposite person and put the best foot forward, show up things which may never exist and put up the most possible fake side to impress, but what is fake cannot be kept hidden for long, it does come out in some way or the other some day.
Yeah, fake cannot be hidden forever and honesty is the best policy.
