I’m a 22 yr old female who’s thinking about giving online dating a try — I live in a small town where it’s hard to meet someone. Believe me, I have tried many ways. I also have my preferences; I’d like someone of the same beliefs/morals, etc. I don’t want to meet someone at a bar/club or something of that nature. Unlike a lot of people my age, I want to find someone & settle down fairly soon. I take relationships pretty seriously. (just wanted to give some background info if it helps for giving advice). Anyway, what are some good tips for online dating? What do you do if you get contacted by several people? How do you narrow it down? If you’re interested in someone/talking to them & dont want others contacting or bothering you, how does that work? I just want to go into this at least having some knowledge & advice.. Its greatly appreciated. Thanks!
