We can’t ignore the fact that technological advancement has made life easier for us, and one of the products of technological advancement is social media.
The social media has given room for online dating, and as such people from different walks of life have come to embrace online dating due to different reasons.
Due to this, there is a need for people to know how to go about dating online to prevent stories that touch the heart.
Therefore, below are tips for dating online.
Honesty
Be completely honest in your profile; don’t put down wrong details about yourself. Online dating has been seen as a place for scammers, so there is a need for you to come out plain. Don’t build up a relationship on lies because it won’t end well.
Compatibility
Look for someone who shares the same interest with you. Go through his or her online profile, get to know if this person is really who you will love to develop a conversation with and if you share the same interest. This will make the conversation to flow easily and from there you will be able to talk better and chip in what you want.
Safety
Never provide your surname, full address, financial information for someone you have never met before. Also be careful about anyone that constantly ask you for money all the time to solve one issue or the other. This person probably sees you as an ATM where he or she can fetch money from at any time.
Desperation
Get to know and talk with the person online before meeting the person. Don’t ever be in a hurry to fix a date with someone you just met. Ladies, this act will only make you look desperate for a man. Also, before you meet in person, move the conversation from online to phone call. During a phone chat, you’ll get a better picture of who the person really is. When you finally decide to meet the person for the first time, make sure it is in an open place e.g. a pack, busy restaurant, coffee shop etc. Make sure you keep your meeting short. Also, make sure someone else is aware of your movement.

Pay attention to some tiny details. Sometimes, these tiny details can actually give you a hint to who the person really is. Look out for consistency in behaviours and answers to your questions. Also, pay attention to warning signs that someone might not be genuine. Does the person just go offline for days and comes back with some excuse? Has the person refused to give you details about his or her life but always want to know about your life? All these and more can stand as a red flag for you.
Online dating can be so much fun and people also find love through this medium. Therefore, it is imperative to use this carefully and be security conscious when dating online.
