Online dating Q&A: Is your question answered?

Is online dating unsafe?

I have to say meeting with strangers is in essence dangerous to some degree. If you think in this way, how does it different between meeting with strangers online and meeting with strangers in bars or nightclubs? One thing worth mentioning, at least you will have chatting records in your phone if you are going to meet someone online in real life. That is to say, only when you take necessary protection method, can it be safe whether online or offline. Do not post any private info in your profile, like your address or phone number. Only go out with a guy whom you know well enough to make you feel safe around. Arrange a public place to meet and let other people know where you are going. Regarding safety offline dating and tinder hookup, there are many articles for it. I won’t be elaborating it here.

Is everyone lie online?

Okay, this situation does happen. Sometimes, people like to add several extra inches to their height or cut inches to their waistline. When you actually meet, you might be amazed. But as a matter of fact, the person you met in bars might also say that he is single while he is actually married for several years. People don’t lie because of internet, but because they are stupid sometimes. Luckily, not everyone does it. Most people still appreciate honesty because they know it’s better to be honest than being caught.

Online dating is impersonal.

This is not an issue. Remember, you are just a small part of one’s social life. After a few texts, you are either to hookup or delete each other form the chatting list. That is to say, you are searching for someone by swiping profiles, replying messages and deleting other people. As a matter of fact, we are also doing the same thing in real life, only did you never realize it. When we walk into a social party, we would observe people and screen out the unqualified and choose the perfect one. Some of you may say what if you are just meeting people with exact purpose. Instead of waiting for the right one to show up in front of you, you might as well take initiative and find people with same interest and value. When you put it like that, you can hardly be impersonal.

Are paid dating apps like hot or not and sites better than free ones?

Better is a relative adjective. You might see less advertising and better experience in paid sites, but this is just a part of the equation. Free sites are more inclined to young users and bigger user numbers, while some paid sites have more serious users looking for real relationships. Every site has its’ pros and cons. You should better evaluate the advantage of each site and choose one that is best suitable for you, instead of worrying about free or paid.
