The goal of an internet date is to eventually take it out into the real world. After all how are you going to do “as lovers do” if you don’t meet face to face?

Many people get caught in the fantasy of their new found romance and expectations sometimes do tend to run unrealistically high. Consider that dating on the internet starts anonymously, and someone can easily pretend to be what they are not, and you have a good recipe for potential disappointment.

Cautious optimism is the best way to go. With that said, is small list of things that could go wrong on an internet date gone real-life:

1. The player: This is someone who’s in a relationship or even married. Men tend to take the cup on this one, but women do it too. A twist here is when that person is in a relationship with someone of the same sex or opposite sex if you’re seeking a same-sex relationship.

2. She/he sprays it while saying it: the person has the tendency to spit while talking.

3. She (it’s a she in most cases) suggests that you take a look at her private photos for just $20. This kind of “date” usually originates from a scam site, or a scammer who posts a personal profile on a (usually adult) dating site.

4. No show: It turns out that your date was actually a teenager (sometimes of the same sex as you) carrying out a prank. This mostly happens on free dating sites and social networking sites.

5. Your date actually shows, but she/he is dramatically older (it rarely if ever happens the other way around) than her/his photo. Or she/he is significantly overweight.
