Convince me not to online date pls

[CB]

Give me bad experiences or just scare me pls lol. Reasoning: I've never dated and I don't want my story to be that we met online, I want to meet someone irl I guess (not that there's something wrong w it!!), also it's exam season and I feel like I'd be self sabotaging by talking to a boy rn lol. However I'm super tempted, I'm 20 and have never really been bothered about dating till now. Thanks in advance, lmaooo

It's dangerous first and you could be dating on older person🤢🤮
I've done it, it turned out to be a 26-year-old... I was 14 back then. But that was years ago so yeah no

it could be an old man and he might ask you to send horrible things and at the chance he asks you to meet up he might kidnap you

My only advise is NEVER meet at anyones house; always somewhere public/crowded. LEAVE at the first sign of a red flag. --Excuse yourself to the "bathroom" and leave! If you cannot leave without being seen, make them believe you're talking to a friend or family member who is closed by to pick you up. Always give a friend or family your location. WATCH your drink AT ALL times. Good luck out there. The dating scene can be so scary nowadays. Ah, always let them arrive before you so you can take off if you need to if you're being catfish'd.

😭 don't plz. just get more hobbies get more engaged in stuff that makes YOU happy you might meet someone there. And remember gods' got a plan for you It s ok if you don't meet them early. :)

dating online ain't real. especially if you never meet em in person. anything online I feel is just eh. like you can talk to people online and still feel lonely.

I have done some online dating years ago. My Mom made me give her the guys phone number and name and where we were going on our date. I would let the guy know that my Mom had all his information. I would get annoyed about it, but I realized how much she was looking out for me and my safety with men.

they could literally be cheating on you 24/7 and you wouldn’t know, you could be texting them and they have someone else in they bed watching and laughing

I met my husband on a dating app but I was also drugged and date &@&*? so it could really go either way. I think online can work if you plan on meeting but like every situation where you meet someone there's a risk.
