How can I convince my parents to let me meet up with guys that I met on an online dating website to date?

I'm 20 and It's hard for me to find guys to date in person so online dating is the best way for me to meet new guys to date for now because I don't have that many friends to hang out with and its hard meeting them in person who wants a relationship. I'm ready for a relationship and online dating is the best for me to meet guys to date for and my parents don't understand that. Since I don't have that much of a social life, I've been relying on Tinder to meet a guy to date. They believe that I need to meet guys in person but it's not so easy for me because I don't have that much of a social life. Online dating is the best place that I should meet guys if I don't have that much of a social life. My parents thinks that that Tinder is unsafe but it's really not if I just meet them at a public place. I'm afraid that in going to lose my chance in getting into a relationship because my parents won't let me use Tinder to date guys and I don't like that they won't let me meet guys through Tinder and other dating websites. Is it wrong of my parents to not allow me to meet guys through an online dating website when I am still living with them? How can I explain to them that using Tinder and other online dating websites is easier for me to meet guys to date? How am I going to meet a guy to date if my parents tell me that they don't want me meeting up with a guy that I meet through Tinder?

Its not wrong but its not right, you're an adult and you shouldn't really have to ask for their permission you can go to the mal and say you've met them at a mall. Tinder or any online things are labeled as unsafe only because of all the bad things that happen but no one really mentions all the GOOD things online dating have happened.

Your 20, they don't have a saying in it anymore.

Thank you for mhg. :)

If you ever do get to mèet the dudes physically, always meet in a public place with a lot of people. Just in case they turn out to be creeps.

I'd say just tell them you're going with a friend, I mean you're 20, you might be living under their roof but you're your own woman!

You're an adult and can do what you want, what are they going to do ground you?

As long as you are getting
to know them in person,
I don't see the problem.
