Paper Summary:

This research paper attempts to define cyber-dating, explain its dangers, and argue that it is absolutely necessary to regulate this activity. Hopefully, regulation measures will be taken before more and more people are murdered for trusting someone they met online.

From the Paper:

"Online dating is a dangerous phenomenon that has increased sexual crimes an murder rates. There is one important way in which online dating dos this. Namely, cyber dating gives people the opportunity to be whomever they want, to take on any personality and identity they desire. In fact, it even allows people to mis-represent their gender, age and background. Consequently, on online dates, one is never really certain whom the other person is. Nevertheless, they do chat with them and eventually, if they feel compatibility and attraction may agree to meet in real life."
