Dating online do and donts?

Hey guys, just wanted to bring up another topic here. One that I struggle with is dating how to know somebody is really into you. What are some ideas or thoughts about dating, especially online, especially with the pandemic? Or how do people find these serious people? Not. You know what I mean without throwing a bunch of money at these apps. So well, I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts. Thank you. Bye

So I think this is a really interesting question because I have been witnessed to so many different experiences through my friends who I think almost all of them, the majority of them have done online dating, and I'm included in this as well, whether it's like, okay, Cupid Tinder, Bumble, hinged, whatever all of the apps out there, I feel like I either have tried them or I know people who have

In fact, I even said it was going to be more sinister. People were disturbed by it. Some others were like, you're just overthinking it. Whatever. But yeah, dating apps. I try to stay away from it. Jesus, because I just know the real purpose behind them and all that

But if you see that there's a lag in responses, et cetera, things like that short responses. They're definitely probably just trying to figure out what they want to do with themselves, but it's hard. Dating is hard. It is definitely a bumpy ride, especially here in California. But I want to say there is hope you do not necessarily have to pay for the apps, get and use the free ones as much as you can

@MichelleT92 How do you know when you've met someone special?

Hey, Michelle, I loved hearing your feedback on this so much and especially about your really recent experience dating and meeting someone during quarantine. I'm wondering because I know there can be, like a lot of sorting through when talking to people. And I wonder what your process was like in realizing that you wanted to keep talking and and be with your current boyfriend. So any tips you have on that I think would be so great to hear

And I think that that's the biggest key is knowing that you can find someone that's on the same page as you and willing to put in the effort that you're willing to put into it. I think those are primarily the biggest things you want to look for when dating online or on apps or getting to know people just creating that relationship of a fluid conversation, an open conversation, and communicating your needs and their needs

So I personally haven't listened to what other people have to say yet. I do plan on doing that in just a second after I say what I have to say before I forget. But personally, I think that the best way to find somebody eight is to not look. That sounds incredibly cliche, but it's true, because if you're looking, things tend to feel less real. They tend to be more generic and just small talk

Do you just want to chitchat or do you want to meet people? Are you talking in terms to meet people? I feel those are distinct, different disciplines of thought with dating. So when I started doing the online official online dating thing, I was kind of the pin pal. I was more so I just wanted to talk with them all day. Chat, chat, get to know their mind, stimulate their mind and all that stuff. But at some point, they would stop talking to me

If you have enough time to actually think about dating when you have multiple kids, I'm as single as they come. Don't have multiple kids. And I'm just happy that I have enough time to bathe properly. Things are so busy, but yeah, I'm sure that other people with socialize will give you some graded advice, but my advice is limited to check out the Canadian government's website on sex suggestion stuff because definitely there for a laugh
