Pros
•    You only need a few minutes every day in order to connect with a lot of prospective dates.

•    Most of the connections you will make are likely to end because people who date online are always looking for something or someone better to come along. Settling is not exactly practiced by internet daters.
•    Some online dating sites are misleading especially when it comes to the services they offer.  You can expect to be ripped off at least once or twice especially by those dating sites that require payment from members.
