1. It works.
Fifty-nine percent of Americans say online dating is a good way to meet people.
2. You get to control who you talk to.
You get to choose who you’re interested in getting to know.
3. You get to lurk on their social media page before you meet.
This helps you to know some of their interests prior to an actual date. Not creepy at all. We promise.
4. It’s Easy To Step out of your comfort zone.
If you’re still looking for a date, something’s not working… right? So why not push yourself to try something new. Trying something you’ve never done before increases your chances of having a different (and better) result.
5. GET MATCHED BASED ON YOUR INTERESTS OR WHO YOU KNOW.
You’ll likely already be interested in the same or similar things or share mutual friends.
6. You get to know someone initially based (mostly) off their personality.
Late night bar meet ups rarely do someone justice, so this gives you a chance to get to know someone for who they really are.
7. You can meet someone in your city you might not have otherwise.
Let’s be honest, you are a creature of habit and don’t really go to new places when you do go out. Now you don’t have to. #win.
8. Are you an introvert? Online dating can help you FIND “THE ONE”
Boom. Online dating helps you break the ice with your real personality. No more #awkward bar conversations.
9. It’s convenient.
Sometimes you actually aren’t able to be in the lounge flickin’ da wrist. In times like that, 4G and a dating app can help you engage and learn about someone, all from the comfort of your desk, couch or a café.
10. You can keep the scrubs at bay.
Nothing is worse than going out on a date at a nice restaurant before realizing your date has the personality of a potato. You have the ability to ask questions and read between the lines before the first date.
