Online dating has a bad rap because some people think that you cannot get a serious relationship if you meet someone online.
However, if you think about it, virtual dating nowadays and meeting someone online is not at all different from meeting someone at the bar.
The only difference is that you didn’t meet them in person.
If you are looking for a serious relationship even if you met someone online, follow these tips but don’t get catfished:
1. Cut off the people you don’t like
Many people date online for the sake of dating.
But if you are online to look for something serious, then you should only go out with the people you really like.
2. Look for someone more convenient for you
Make sure you look for someone who doesn’t live far and someone who really shares your interests.
Changing yourself just to be with someone is not a good sign of something serious.
3. Make a list of the things you are looking for in a relationship
Once you made that list, cross it all out and make sure it all checks out.
Getting a clear mindset of what you want and need can help you narrow your choices for something more
serious even if you met someone online.
4. Talk about interests more
Make sure you listen to the person you are talking to online, and also make sure they are listening.
Review your conversations and make a list, so you can talk about them when you meet up in person.
5. Take a break
If you have tried dating many people online and still haven’t found the one for you, then there is no harm in taking a break from your dating apps.
Focus on yourself and everything else will follow.
