I appreciate the hustle that many people undergo to find a date – especially online. Dating is tough these days, and you have think of options when going into the dating realm, which means using online platforms as well. But online dating isn’t as easy to navigate as we might think. So, here are useful tips for when you’re dating online.
Be Honest In What You Want
It’s better to just be completely open in what you’re looking for in a relationship. The beauty of online dating is that when you match with someone and they’re not on the same page with you, you can just un-match. It’s better than just stringing people along, and it’s not nice either way. Be upfront and honest when you’re chatting with someone.
Do Not Give Personal Details Too Soon
However, honesty does not mean giving out personal information. That’s too much for someone you just met online. By personal information, we do mean social media details as well. It’s okay to lie a little when asked about a job or your social media username. You don’t owe people your privacy – that has to be something that they work for and deserve.
Do Not Rely On One Person
Another thing about online dating is that you can talk to anyone – and maybe develop friendships as well. It doesn’t mean you go into online dating and you match with someone and you only talk to that person. You have to find someone that you can vibe with perfectly, and it’s usually a hit or miss. However, don’t let that stop you from pursuing a relationship.
Disclaimer: We are not condoning cheating. We are simply saying that before you have established a relationship, have an open mind.
Do Meet In Public
This is the most important tip of all – meet your date in PUBLIC. Do not even contemplate saying ‘yes’ if they ask to meet at their place – it’s never safe. Always be on high alert if you are planning on meeting them and picking a place where there are a lot of people. It’s even better if you pick a place that you are familiar with. It’s a dangerous world we live in and it’s always better to be on the safe side.
