Words w/ Comet #2: 'Dating'

Hiya jammers! It's been a while since I've last done a 'Words w/ Comet' post, so I decided that it's about time that I wrote another one. Today, we are going to be talking about a pretty interesting and popular topic. 'Dating' on Animal Jam.

There are several reasons why you shouldn't 'date' on Animal Jam:

1. You don't know this person at all. You may think you know them, but you don't know the real person. Many people like to act behind the computer screen.
2. This person could be untrustworthy. (They most likely aren't, but it's always good to be careful!) If they ask you for personal information, never tell them, no matter how trustworthy you think they are. Once they get their paws on your information, they could use it or manipulate and find a way to hurt you.
3. Misunderstandings are most likely to occur. Have you ever had that accident when you talked to someone online but they completely misunderstood your meaning? That can happen any time on Animal Jam, of course, but if your 'partner' misunderstands what you're saying, you could get in online fights, and worse, both of you could be hurt. 
4. This is a game. It's not an online dating website. I understand if you like to hang out with that person, but truly, I'd be weirded out if I did 'love' emoticons with another person online. It's kind of awkward, especially since it's a game. 

If people want to date, well, I guess there's no stopping them. However, 'dating' on Animal Jam could always resort to something dangerous. Just take care and think before you type!

Cheers,
