When You're Single: Why Online Dating is Great

There's nothing to be ashamed of, and I'm pretty sure 99% of adults have or are using either Tinder or other online dating platforms, and I recommend it 100% to anyone who is single and looking for a relationship.
Here are a few of my top reasons why it's great:

1) You have an amazing opportunity to meet people outside of your school/work/friends circle.

2) If things go south, there's a higher chance that you won't ever have to see them again/awkwardly share mutual friends.

3) You can afford to be more picky and have higher chances of meeting someone whose lifestyle is a better match to yours. First convo = Q/A session. Take advantage of it.

4) Not everyone is on there just to hook up. Trust me.

5) Dating is fun. Even if it ended after the first date, maybe you got to try a new restaurant, had a funny or weird conversation, and now you have a story to share with your friends.

6) It's better than meeting at a bar/club because a-you're sober and b-you can fully comprehend what the other person is saying (in most cases)

7) If you're an introvert, or if you're shy, it makes dating and meeting people a lot easier and can save you from unnecessary anxiety

8) You have nothing to lose. At least give it a try.
