I'm not a fan of online dating mostly because I prefer a genuine and "tangible" relationship. When you are speaking or engaging with someone personally, you can see what kind of person they are. There is only so much you can see through text

Personally I am not totally against online dating but I do have issues. I don't think your relationship is not valid if it started online nor do I think it is embarrassing. My issue with dating apps have more to do with the structure of the apps than the people on them. I've noticed that dating apps tend to contribute to the gamification of romantic and/or sexual connection. Additionally it has contributed to the problem we see with social media generally: the commodification of self.

Personally, I have nothing against online dating, and I think it's a great idea for modern society. With that in mind, and the potential benefits, I can see why it can be a turn off for people. I think it depends on the individuals, and for more introverted people, I think this is a great way to "find a match". Technology and social media has made it extremely simple and convenient to connect with others and meet people, and by extension, opens opportunities for dating that weren't there before. On the other hand, it can be a bit weird to meet with someone you've never actually seen or spoken to. All in all, online dating has opened up options that weren't there previously, and it benefits many people.

I would not date online, or initiate a relationship. I think is really important to have that personal time, and get to know the person for who he/she really is. Social media can be a perfect scenario to be someone we are not.

I think that online dating is a common way to meet people in this generation and I don’t see much wrong with it other than some people can be on these sites with bad intentions. I prefer meeting people in person because it’s easier to read them and feel connected to them. I also think I am much better at communicating in person than over text.

A lot of people i know met online. It works out amazing for some as I've seen my friends marry the one they met online. For me it's not my cup of tea at least its never worked out for me so i stay away from it. Everyone's different !

I am neutral on the matter. The reason for this is because my husband and I met on twitter many years ago (due to mutual friends). But in todays world I think that online dating needs to be done with caution. Many times people have used dating applications and social media platforms to stalk and pray on innocent people. But in terms of communication on these platforms, I think that it can give you a general idea of common interests and how insightful a person can be. But it is possible that a person can be incredibly boring and incapability of online communication, but can hold intellectual and thought provoking conversations. So, all in all, I suppose I tend to lean towards to supporting online dating.

Online dating isn't a strictly good or bad thing. While it is easy to get taken advantage of, the convenience of it is a huge benefit. I've dated online (such as my irl friend during covid while we couldn't go to school and this girl from Montreal I met over discord) and I think that the experience was alright. Like "real" dating, the experience is what you make of it. I still prefer real life dating, however, because I feel like I can form a better connection with the other person.

Online dating isn't something I'd encourage nor discourage. The statistics state that online dating can be effective, and I don't disagree with the facts, but it's just not for everyone. I personally feel that finding someone by accident, through just normal everyday interaction, is better than online. However, at the same time I think that the experiences you build through online dating can really help build you as a character and help you find out exactly what you're looking for in a partner.

I am not against online dating. Online dating does not necessarily mean that you have to use Tinder, Bumble or any of those apps. You can also meet people through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook... without even having the intention of dating someone. If it happens, it happens! We meet people online all the time, and sometimes they can become good friends. I have met some pretty cool people online. So there is no doubt in my mind that online dating is something that is growing rapidly.

I personally would not date online, just because I am personally paranoid and just don't think it would be a good way for me to meet someone. I don't have a problem for those who do, that is their choose and you do you!

# data[].attributes.body
I think online dating is great and gives people many more options and allows them to be more outgoing in some cases. However, I do think meeting in person is better. It's harder in this generation but I do think it could be better in some cases when getting to know someone. It's much harder to be someone you're not in person.

I guess if it works then go for it. And if it doesn't, move on.

Personally I don’t see a problem with online dating but I can see why it’s weird for some people since usually one would have to met the persons that they love in person not online and sometimes dating online isn’t always safe. I think it just depends on how your were raised.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not tried online dating websites before. My family don't support them because they're different from traditional ways. I don't think I will try them because I have had online platform meeting such as Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook. It didn't go accurately and in the end, there was no honesty from the other person. I mostly prefer in-person, friendly meetings and when it is meant to be, it will gradually go into dating and relationship.

I personally do not like online dating. Now I do not have a problem if others find this as a good source to meet new people. However, I feel like a more genuine relationship can start offline, and in-person. I have also read enough situations where people have faked their looks or identity behind a screen. I think that times have changed and this may be a new way of approaching relationships, but I just find trouble trying it myself.

I think online dating for me is somehwat concerning at times, but overall I don't think it is a problem. I know people who have met online and become friends to where they start dating and it seems easier when in the same city. Long distance when you meet them online seems a little rough, but I am sure people manage and that is someone's love story so that is why I am not against it because we can find love in different ways. I just think my concerns with online dating are the fears that come with it because you can meet some psychos, people who aren't that person behind the screen, and a variety of things that I think can impact or hurt someone on the other side, so that is my only downside with online dating because I feel when you meet someone in person you get a better idea of who they are and actually see them for who they actually are in person. Again I am not oppsed to it because we rely on technology a lot more now and we just adapt to the times which makes sense, but I just feel there are cons to online dating as well.

I think online dating is a good thing, though much like anything there can be negatives to it as well. Sure there could be people on the sites that have ill intent, but they are out there in real life too. Back when I was still dating, dating apps weren't a thing and people still thought online dating was weird. But it can be hard to meet people, and from what I can see it helps people meet, and there are different sites depending on what you are looking for, casual or serious, etc.  Rachel E.

I think that online dating is probably not the best out there, but I also don't have an issue with it. I simply believe that dating sort of just happens on its own with someone who you meet in person. Although I am not against it, I do think that it's a bit weird to go out of your way to find someone online to date.

I have nothing against online dating. It is the new way we all socialize and it can sometimes help people be able to communicate with someone they want to be with before meeting them. There are people who have tried online dating and have a successful and happy relationship from it.  ---Anmar Azria

I myself have never tried online dating. As a single mom I m just not ready to. However I can see the appeal and reasoning for it. There is a variety of types of dating websites. My understanding is that you can choose the type of relationship you are looking for. They also have in depth questionnaires to match comparability. Society and times change, so how we approach different aspects of life change as well.

Is very different to traditional dating, in the sense that there is such an ease in interacting with so many more people than you would in regular life, and by being able to swipe right/left from the conveniance of your mobile device, it becomes a much more "robotic" and disconnected response. - Aimee Guzman-Angel

My opinion on online dating differs depending on the situation. If people live in different states, I think thats weird. But for example, if two people find eachother on social media and see that they live in the same city but have never met, and start talking that way and eventually have a regular relationship. I think thats normal.

I think online dating is not a good thing or a good source to meet people. The fact that it isn't safe and trustworthy for the reason that there could be bad people wanting to find beautiful women to kidnap when they get fooled by them. Which is why it's best to meet people in person rather than online. Ever since I knew about online dating or meeting people online, I never was interested nor intended to do that.
