I don't know if you guys have ever experienced online dating in this era, but I've had the privilege of going through it, not just once, but several times. In fact, most of my friends have had a few experiences with online dating as well.
The next step in online dating is usually starting conversations. You can portray yourself as a wealthy individual or someone from a privileged background (although if you're not genuine, it significantly reduces your chances of success). But most importantly, you should have one or even several well-Photoshopped pictures; these are the real passports of online dating. You should know that those with experience will often ask you to send a selfie first. If the selfie is unattractive, you might get blocked immediately. It's best if you appear charming, and having elements in the photo that demonstrate your wealth can further improve your chances. This increases the likelihood of actually meeting up.
The most interesting part comes next: the actual meetup. Hormones are in the air, there's a surge of energy, and fantasies about the other person make you eager to meet immediately.
My first experience, however, was a painful one. I eagerly went to meet her, and before I knew it, my money was gone. Forget about having a deeper connection; I barely got to touch her hand. I went home and cried for days.
I won't go into the heart-wrenching details, but I was clearly deceived. The woman was a professional scammer, and there was even a male accomplice. They would spin stories every day about her being harassed by thugs in an internet cafe, making me unable to resist helping. I ended up stealing my mother's savings to meet her. She spent thousands on shopping in the local mall that very afternoon, and the next day, I couldn't reach her. I didn't even want to think about the expenses before the meetup.
In reality, most online dating experiences are not that bad. The chances of encountering scammers are relatively low, and there are many genuine people out there. In fact, many people have met their significant others through online dating and built successful relationships.
In this era, many young people lack the courage to open up and connect with others in real life. Factors like family backgrounds and personal experiences often lead to feelings of inadequacy, not only in finding a girlfriend but even in making friends. The internet provides a way to bypass some of these barriers, making it easier for people to get to know each other.
But, in the end, people still need to go out and explore, have unique experiences, and create good memories, so that when they get older, they have something valuable to look back on. |
