With the introduction of World Wide Web, meeting people and building relationships throughout the world became simple, easy and accessible. The introduction of other technologies such as online video chats and internet phones make online dating even more attractive.

Sometimes people, not only men, prefer staying in the world of virtual communication instead of transferring to phone conversations, although ideal internet dating should include online contact, e-mail messages, phone call and, finally, face-to-face meeting.

Just several years ago the first phone calls were made only after you met someone face-to-face and had a brief (or long conversation). It was easier to call as you already communicated with that person in flesh.
