Dating has caught up to the technology available today and there has been no other time frame where options for meeting people are vast yet people still feel so alone. It's like riding on a subway train in New York yet, no one sits next to you.
Whether you're swiping left on Tinder, winking at someone online or clicking on a tab to start a conversation through a location based app--there are 3 things to keep in mind when it comes to dating because no matter what year it is, certain things about human nature don't change.
Prescreen but don't stalk: you will find something that doesn't appeal and have no real facts to base this on except an active imagination and a quick googling finger. You'll want to ask for a "now selfie" and you're smart, sexy and confident so you offer the good first. And if there is hesitation or something is off in their response then something's is stinky.
Take to IRL ASAP - once you feel a spark you'll want to talk and see where this leads. I mean over the phone, not texting or any other messaging applications. Learn their inflections, humor style and see if there's reason to meet. If there is, do it.
Keep your expectations in check. Have an intent for going on the date. I've always kept it to three things: 1. I will learn more about them. 2. They will learn more about me. 3. Have fun.
What apps or dating sites are you having luck with? Did I mention I met my husband through an app?
