I did a post way over a year ago about internet dating and how I was
finding it. I actually had a long term relationship come out of internet
dating, but that relationship ended after a year. A mixture of different
reasons and a whole other blog post I’m sure to come. Anyway, since I am single
and very much ready to mingle I thought I would revisit the topic of internet
dating. I joined back in September time using two apps the first Tinder and the
second Plenty of Fish (POF). It began okay trying to find the genuine people
from the fuckboys was the hardest part. I have since ditched Tinder because it
is simply just full of fuckboys and not worth my time. So let’s focus on POF.
So, POF is a dating site, which allows you to make a profile, write
about yourself, give a little bio, your basics and them do a very long and I
mean very long chemistry test which I have to admit I still haven’t finished haha.
Anyway, I have had a few good dates from the site and met some lovely genuine
guys on there. I have had some absolute horrid dates, and some guys assume they
are going to get sex on a first meeting/date. Now I am up for casual but come
on dude, I barely know you let’s get to know each other. I have come up with
some top tips for internet dating based on my experience.
Number 1
DO NOT GIVE A GUY YOUR SNAPCHAT
Like seriously, if you have been talking to a guy and all he ha asked
you is hey, how are you and then boom straight in with have you got snapchat,
you will receive a dick pic and loads of them. Words of warning that is what
happens.
Number 2
DO NOT GIVE YOUR NUMBER OUT
Okay, so with this one be respectful of your mobile number. So, many
guys use the excuse of this app is slow have you got whatsapp? Why yes I do,
but know you cannot have it because I barely know you. If a guy really wants to
get to know you they will wait. I normally do not give my number out until I’ve
been messaging a person at least 3 days. I want to know them a little first.
Number 3
Don’t be afraid to play the field
I’ve had a few people ‘judge’ me because I am talking to several guys. Most
of these people judging me are in relationships, and have been for a while. Now just because I am talking to several guys it does not mean I am sleeping with them. I am simply getting to know people. Figuring
out if we have stuff in common and quite frankly it’s nice to know I have
people wanting to talk to me. So please do not judge.
Just a quick revisit and a few little tips.
Love yah
