1.     Privacy Safety
       On the dating website, normally the user should submits all personal information on the website, such as name, age, status, and contact information. But unfortunately, we often heard that someone’s credit card’s information was last; someone’s personal identity was steeled and was published on the other public websites. It causes a huge credit problem in the society. A recommendation for the users is that protecting your personal information.

2.     Costy
       As we all know, subscribe on majorities dating websites have to pay for the join fees. In generous, it is not quite expensive. But if you want to get further and more information about the other singles or you want to advertise yourself that you have to pay the additional price. Unconsciouslyyou already spent a lot of money on the dating website.

3.     Potential crimes
       As I mentioned before, identity theft already has been a big risk of online dating. But this is not the unique problem, such as online crank calls, sexual assaults. Here is an example of the sexual assault. Jeffrey Marsalis, a 34 years old man, was a user of match.com. He used the false information online in order to attract more females, as a doctor who got well education and good reputation. Then got the trust from the women, he did the sexual assault. Finally, he faces up to 20 years in prison. In total, women on online dating website should pay more attention to protect themselves, not only personal information, but also about the live safety.

4.     False information
       Hard to get the important facts is also an obvious problem for the dating website. As I told about the sexual assault, this crime was caused by the false information. Do you really believe all people’s information online? It is quite hard to answer. A little bit pompous information, we can understand and accept. But the false one is obviously not allowed online. While, it is also hard for the supervisor to control and check all members’ information.

5.     Waste of Time
       From a questionnaire, there is an interesting finding that over 70% users thinking they waste a lot of time on the chatting with what you do not want. So how to control the time and make it more effective is really important for all of the users.
