The amount of Internet dating sites that have been created over the last decade is somewhat surprising and even a bit comical. FarmersOnly.com is one of the newest sites and I cannot help but laugh because it shows how selective men and women have become. Don't get me wrong, it is important to have a specific type of person in mind when looking for that certain someone. What gets me is that people in our society do not have time to sit around and get to know various types of people; the sea is full of fish, but no one wants to waste time swimming around to find their person.

With all the rush to find the perfect match, there is still room for caution. You can never be too careful about who you are actually talking to on Internet dating sites, whether it is on an App or on the web. Sure you fill out your preferences, which lead to matches and online interactions, but you do not truly know the person being masked by technology.

Here is some food for thought should you choose to join the online-dating trend:

1. Let's face it – you get excited when you get a match on any online dating site. It's normal.

2. Have some standards! Don't throw yourself at just anyone because they send you a message.

3. You can never be too cautious when talking to someone you truly don't know. If you do choose to meet up with someone, take a friend!

4. More often than not, the person on one side of the conversation will say something that makes you feel uncomfortable and leave you with no response. Why put yourself in an awkward situation?

5. Every once in a blue moon that perfect person comes around, but unfortunately they choose not to stick around. And you kind of want to cry a little bit.

Don't cry – there are plenty more fish in the sea and you will find your person.
