My experiences with online dating (I am female) haven't been particularly good, so I wanted to hear from you about your experiences with dating platforms. So far, I've had some contacts with men, and either they just wanted one thing, which is sex, or they were shallow romantics who bombarded me with endless love emails, boring me with their messages. One was really extreme, trying to convert me with his religious lectures about Jesus and God :) and another, I got really scared of him. He wanted to marry me and have children without even seeing a picture of me. He was so persistent that I got really scared. Although I'm a very shy person and don't have much knowledge about men, I find such behavior abnormal. What are your experiences with online dating? Have you had any negative experiences too? Since, as I mentioned, I'm very shy, the internet is my only way to meet men. But somehow I always end up with the wrong guys. It would be great if someone could share positive experiences about their online flirts to strengthen my faith in dating platforms. Has anyone here even met their partner online and is now happy? Am I the only one getting such weird contact requests? I would really appreciate some positive feedback to restore my trust in the world of men!
