Anybody else just could never do online dating?

I couldn't.

The idea of meeting people off the internet is still weird to me and I had a real bad experience with meeeting a chick off a dating site that ended up with me having to call the police on her to have her removed from my apartment after she threatened my roommate with a knife.

After that I deleted all my dating site profiles...all of them. Even my linkedin and facebook.

I could but online dating can be time consuming having to look all thru those profiles and going on those different sites. It also needs to be done the right and safer way. You need to talk to these folks on the phone for a while then meet at a public place for a date. Don't be so quick to invite someone over your home...remember that's your domain, your haven....don't risk your safety. Facetiming is a good way to check if folks are catfishing. You need to take the time to gauge someone's personality and to see if any apparent red flags are there. Sometimes they will pop up over the time yall going thru the talking phase.

U just gotta be careful how u do it....take time, get to know a person's personality via phone first, and start out meeting in public places. Don't invite them over for a first date....no Netflix and chill because the person may be cray cray.
