i personally wouldn't be able 2 do it- i need the face-to-face interactions yk :p
tbh I think its more abt shared interests when it comes to dating online cause without the face-to-face interaction its harder to date online w/o it, that and 'online dates' like video games and screen sharing movies
@jsrttngrl ig that could work but i feel like it would be a little lonely watching a screen sharing movie or game even if someone else is on call or smth
@‧₊˚𖦹Maddie 𝄞₊˚⊹! ik ppl who have dated online through dating apps and it is a lot of waiting for the other person to text and ive heard complaints from them about communication, but it can work... just sucks sometimes cause of ldr (used to be in an ldr) some ppl js enjoy the other persons company even if it is through call :3
Hmm as a victim of dating online I can say it was very lonely and not so great cause I can say is dating online could be an bad and a good thing but I’m not normalizing it but dating online in my opinion is bad for many reasons cause:
1. You don’t know who’s behind the screen
2. You don’t know if the person you’re dealing with is cheating on you or making you their next victim.
3. Do not put your trust and soul into meeting this person cause they either are dangerous or not
One thing I learned from these is that you should slow down and try to get to know the person before trying to date them cause these days anybody dating anybody and it’s not good.

@⭐ 🎤 🎶| 𝑲𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒚 | 🐾🍕🧁 its kinda creepy to think abt bc if u both never call or facetime, u seriously don't know if your being lied to :/ And even if they send pictures of what they look like or something, they couldv'e easily gotten those pics from somewhere else.

power of love, thats how me and my gf stay together
also not to brag buuuut we r finally gonna meet irl for the first time in 2 weeks 
@nvtbvster aww congrats :)
It's definitely not the easiest thing in my experience, especially if there's a timezone difference. I prefer irl connections when it comes to dating, but it's so lovely hearing of the online dating stories that work out. I've seen people go from online dating to irl dating, to getting married and living together, super sweet.
@wizard aww thats cute, i've never heard those stories b4
It's not really that unusual, and past a certain age if you seriously get catfished online you're kind of an idiot. There's ups and downs but in most cases people just genuinely don't have any options IRL, or physically cannot be outside very often to maintain an in-person relationship. In my case, I refuse to date anyone who isn't a transfeminist, which leaves like 2 people on campus (and that's being generous)
It's not like people in online relationships don't ever call or text each other either. You'd be hard pressed to find one where they don't.
In other cases, people might be aro/ace or neurodivergent. Physical touch or physical attraction might not be as much of a priority, or they might not like speaking/showing their face. Everyone is different and has unique needs and accommodations. Online dating is just another one of them. It's not so weird.
@Lomax thank you for your perspective, I never really thought about it like that
It sounds like it would be so lonely, because you never get to really spend time with them, and you can never be too sure if they are who they say they are. Plus, they could actually have a partner irl or something else. You’ll never truly know what is happening. Scary.
speaking from experience, i'm way too damn awkward and i find it really hard to relate to other people who actually live nearby me, so i usually date online, not because i prefer it, but because i can't connect to other people around me.
all my previous relationships were online, and while i wish i had more in-person relationships, i made due. i got to know other people and they got to know me.
still, you can never be too careful. people can make stuff up and make up an entire fake identity, it's important to make sure you know who you're talking to.
I tried it once and it wasn't the worst thing but I'd definitely never do it again unless the person I'm talking to can only do long distance/online dating. In the one occurence that I did try it all we did was text eachother "goodmorning my love how's your day?" "oh my day was great I did this and that!" and "good night my love have a good night!" "love you too!" which was 100% both our fault I can't lie but we were both dumb and inexperienced so we weren't really going anywhere anyway. I also just picked the first guy who was willing to tolerate me at the time and so that probably contributed BUT the damage is done
