TIs it wise to trust someone from a dating site? ?

[red-lipstick-girl]

What if I delete that app after pairing and then he doesn't delete that app and continues to log in, would you take such a risk?

[OlderAndWiser]

If you think online sites are for meeting someone and carrying on a relationship entirely online, I understand your concern. However, that is not the intent for online sites, and that is not how most people use such sites.

Online sites are merely a means of meeting someone. After a few online conversations, you should arrange to meet the person in a public space, and. . . at that point, it is no different from meeting someone in person. The risk is no more or no less than the risk in meeting a stranger at the grocery store.

Exactly...

[slatyb]

A few? Sounds like a few too many. If someone isn't willing to meet after minimal vetting, they aren't serious about dating. My wife sent me one message, and I replied. The we met for coffee.

You have to go with your gut feeling. Down deep you already know the answer to your question .. you would hope the person would feel the same way you do and just focus on each other. And now you see his mind is only on himself so you question that. And that why you asked this question. But yes I look at it the same way you do

So now you have to ask he proved himself to you really fast on who he is

So now the ball is in your court
You either play the game or you start a new one with someone that is real

I think that deleted the app after matching with someone is a bit premature. I would only delete the app if things started getting serious with the person I matched with as in we agreed to be exclusive.

Just like anyone you need to meet them to know

[HawkPerception]

A safe practice when online dating is to voice message first, then move to video calls, and then finally meet them in a public setting (not have them pick you up) until you feel comfortable with them.

Meeting someone online is the same thing as meeting any stranger in person with an extra step. You don't trust strangers immediately. It isn't any different online.

Basic rule applies in everything one days, and that includes dating sites...

Trust, and verify.

[slatyb]

He's not as committed to the relationship as you are. He's still looking for someone else, but until he finds her, you'll do. It feels like a waste of time to me. I dated online but didn't continue looking when I was in a relationship.

[slatyb]

Have you met him? Until you meet there's no relationship, and it's unreasonable to expect someone to stop looking after a couple of dates.

[red-lipstick-girl]

I don't use those kinds of apps and I don't have anyone to talk to, I just asked.

[slatyb]

You trust them as much about as you would trust someone you met in a bar. You meet them in a public place for coffee, nothing more than lunch. You arrive after them and leave after they have gone. One meeting is usually enough to know whether someone can be trusted.

[Zack-Bann]

It’s called communication


You both agree to be exclusive and get off the apps
You can even delete them at the same time when together


If he downloads it again he’s basically cheating


But even someone you meet in a coffee shop is likely to hop on a dating app


So the truth is: you can trust someone from an app as much as you can trust someone not from an app.

[Tarifa]

I've never used one, but I think there are two kinds of people: those who gradually reveal everything to you about themselves, and those who make up a story about themselves and pretend to be someone they're not. I suppose a dating app makes it easier to pretend than when they are dating in real life.

Just be careful.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

You need more than a few dates to know if you're relationship material so a lot of times people will see multiple people at first. If you think you're ready for a committed relationship, sit down with him and express your feelings and ask him if he feels the same. If he's ready, he'll remove the app but if he's not and you can't wait any longer, move on.

[Berethor]

Can you trust someone from real life as well? you decide when it worth to take a risk.

[soe11]

• Trust is to be built and it's take time.
• There is no doubt about it risk being involved.

[Anonymous]

Never fully trust ANYONE (man or woman) from a dating site until you meet them. And then proceed with caution AFTER you meet them. If the haven't flaked on you after about a decade then you're probably safe.

[WonderingManII]

Dating sites are always risky. Even GAG is risky.

[LunarEclipse433]

I would only share info you feel totally safe telling anyone in an open forum. As time passes trust can build

[FenixG45]

That is a part of dating today. But if you have honesty, trust and love, isn't that what it is all about? Won't that conquer all?

[Anonymous]

I think it takes more time to trust someone from a dating site.

Depends on what kind of people they are.

[nawtee_me]

Not until you get to really know one another….

[chrissykerdock]

depends what he expects

[Bklynbadboy12]

Trust should be earned never given. Don't trust anybody until they earn it

[Jennz6]

No don’t trust someone from a dating site

[AngryCarl2]

What risk are you referring to?

[Greek_goddess_Iris]

What is your doubt in this person?

[Shiprex]

Ask him to delete it

[cavedweller1973]

Not right away

[Jmmmfi4]

You shouldn't trust anyone period

[Anonymous]

You can fuck why not?
