Online dating

So I just signed up with a site. But I really don't know what to expect out of it. I tried a different site awhile back but I felt like I was wasting my time and I deleted it. I'm only trying it again cause I'm feeling so lonely, especially now after leaving my work and being alone in a new state. Anyone here tried online dating or have any advice? Thanks.

Hey brother. I really appreciate the tips. Yeah that kind of thing where they instantly message you that's not real I've gotten a bit of those before haha. I mean the last time I would be messaging a girl back and forth for a while but it seems like that's all they want; I never went out with anyone. And nowadays that's not really a possibility for everyone so video chatting would be the next best thing, or even a phone conversation. And I would be totally cool with that.

Yeah if it wasn’t for COVID. I hate using that as an excuse but nowadays everyone’s so hyper vigilant

I used to do online dating, I mostly used it for company to help me feel better about myself. It worked for a spell. I wasn't looking for a meaningful relationship just someone to tell me I was pretty and have dinner with. My last online date was nearly 6 years ago and now we're married 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Just be careful. There are so many scammers & haters out there. Please please be careful with who you let into your life.
