If someone you find attractive msgs you on a dating app, does it have the same weight to being approached in person?

Not a profile that’s barely filled out, odd, creepy or gives eff boy vibes. I mean they very well could be all those things but let’s say if they send a well thought message & their profile appeals to you, does it equate to if they approached you in person? As someone who only uses dating apps casually since I don’t have a social life, I wonder if I should count those encounters, as I’d probably consider them if they for example approached me at a bar etc. Also asking cuz I never get approached by the type of guys I’d like in person.

Yes

No

Absolutely not, even if it is isn't a catfish

No. People also approach people they are not interested in while people usually don't message someone on a dating site if they are not interested.
