Ah, the world of online dating - where people swipe left and right in quest of a date, a friend, or simply some fun. It's a world where one can find their future soulmate or their worst nightmare, all with a few clicks of a button. But with great power comes great responsibility as Spiderman Said, and in the world of online dating, that means following some basic rules and being aware of the risks.
First, let's talk about the rules.
Rule number 1: be honest. This might seem normal, but you'd be surprised how many people try to catfish their way into a date. Remember, the truth always comes out in the end, so save yourself the embarrassment and just be yourself from the start. And while we're on the topic of honesty, let's talk about your profile picture. Don't use a photo from five years ago where you were 30Kg lighter and had a full head of hair. We're all aging, and there's no shame in that. Just embrace your current self and let your personality shine through.
Rule number 2: don't be a creep. This should also be obvious, but sadly, it's not. If someone isn't interested in you, don't keep messaging them. Please refrain from sending unsolicited images of your trash, for the love of everything that is good. It's not sexy, it's not attractive, and it's definitely not going to get you a date.
Let's now talk about the risks. There's no denying that online dating comes with some serious risks. You never know who could be on the other end when you introduce yourself to total strangers. But that doesn't mean you have to live in fear. Just be smart about it. Don't give out too much personal information too soon, and always meet in a public place for your first date. And if something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and walk away.
In conclusion, internet dating may be a crazy trip, but if you go into it with a level mind and a decent sense of humor, it's a journey worth going on. Just remember to follow the rules, be honest, and don't be a creep. And who knows? You might just find the love of your life, or at the very least, a great story to tell your friends. Happy swiping!

"In the world of digital dating,
There are some rules you must abide.
Take care not to be catfished,
Or left feeling hurt inside.
Swipe left, swipe right,
It's a game we all must play.
But remember, behind each profile,
A person hides away."
