Outside Reading: Relationships Found on the Internet

In my blogs, you may read my writings, sometimes talking about writing on something "different" or a "uncommon" view on the assigned topic. I do this not to be different, but to attempt to present a view that may not always be seen. Our topic was to write on a text about love, so using my "uncommon" sub-theme, I found the perfect article. I chose to read about Internet relationships, from the woman's point of view. The article was from an author who writes about how, as a woman, to protect yourself in a relationship. Overall, she warns women to avoid Internet relationships. I chose this article over any other love article because Internet relationships are growing, from chat rooms, to the nationally used website, eHarmony. When talking about Internet relationships, the author is more referring to using the Internet for facebook, myspace and chat room based relationships, because there are thousands of predators on the world wide web. The message is to be careful, and to avoid all Internet relationship. Besides being possibly physically harmful, due to the other person in the relationship locating you, people relying on the web for relationships probably aren't going to be very stable, leading to heartbreak (if you even get that far...)
