I feel like this question has more nuance than some people think; since online, you can curate your spaces, you're much more likely to find someone who fits into an "Ideal Type" of yours ... But you're not even sure if you can trust that sort of person. IRL, you have fewer opportunities to meet people and it's generally more awkward and even anxiety inducing to pursue romance. I honestly feel that IRL there are more mixed signals than online; in fact, people online are too honest and transparent about their feelings (at times). IRL, if you get past the crush-stage, then you also have to worry about planning outings and meeting their family ... Online, you can play a game then listen to the other work while matching icons and that's about it for your options of dates. Realistically, I'd prefer a mix of both. A simple LDR. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that. Though I'm happy with how I and Amelie are.
as someone who has done both, definitely prefer irl dating, but i don't mind online dating if me and the other person knew each other for a while
I do prefer dating IRL... It makes such a big difference and for some reason, I feel more connected to my partner. I can actually be there for them, I can be their crying shoulder and I can be affectionate with them. I've dated Online in the past but it didn't end well...
Hard question.
It's easier to make a connection with someone IRL, and you could actually be able to see eachother not through a screen which is definitely better.
Online dating is fine too, I've even considered it myself, but I think it should only be done with the right precautions, seeing as people aren't always all they make themselves out to be.
irl because physical touch is my love languages, but theres a couple people i would date online
