The world is a global village, and everyone, regardless of their status or race, has adopted the invent of technology, even when it comes to finding love. Over the years, many dating apps and platforms have emerged, catering to the needs of those seeking love.
As time passed, these apps and websites have evolved, reducing the chances of falling in love with the wrong person. However, there is no 100% guarantee, as some fraudulent individuals have mastered the art of deceit. Here are two ways you can adopt to prevent you from falling in fake love online:
Avoid Excitement and High Expectations
As a single parent, long-time divorcee, bachelor, or spinster, you may be tempted to think positively and quickly once you find “your type” online. But be warned, not everything that glitters is gold! Some promises should be taken with a grain of salt, as some people may make empty promises or attempt to scam you.
Be on guard, especially when your online lover seems too perfect too soon. Remember that all good things take time, and falling in love is no exception. Studies have shown that women are slower to fall in love than men, pointing out that taking your time is okay.
As a man, don’t fall too quickly for the Barbie girl. Take the time to get to know her well to avoid being preyed upon. However, this doesn’t mean that finding love quickly online is impossible.
Explore Social Media Platforms
Never limit yourself to just one platform; your ideal partner might be on that overlooked one. Make sure to update your social media profiles (Facebook, Telegram, X, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat) and determine which dating app suits you best.
Additionally, find pages or groups that align with your interests. By doing this, you may find that one guy or girl who shares similar interests and could become a potential soulmate.
Above all else, always remain alert and cautious. While exploring social media platforms and sites, learn about them and how to meet a partner safely. You can also create an enticing profile with your photo and bio that is hard to resist, but don’t put out much or flex “money.”
