Online Dating Services - Not For Teens

Most dating sites are designed for adult dating only. Eighteen and older is the normal age for most online dating services but kids today are exploring more and more their options for finding love online. There is not much to stop someone from lying when clicking that box that says you are 18 or older to start your search. While not encouraging this it is a fact that it is being done.

MySpace, FaceBook and Friendster are all sites that someone at any age can create a page for themselves and meet new people. While not considered dating sites that is what they often lead to. Friends can connect with friends and friends of friends and so on. This can lead to online predators and some scary situations. Parents pay attention to who your children are communicating with online and monitor their sites regularly.
