The beginning of the journey: doubts and decisions
I doubted for a long time whether it was worth registering on a dating site. I was stopped by stereotypes and fears: what if it’s not serious, what if there are only scammers there? But after several conversations with friends who found their soul mates there, I made up my mind. I decided to give this a chance, because new experiences and acquaintances never hurt.

Selecting a site and creating a profile
Choosing a site was not an easy task. There are so many of them, and they all promise mountains of gold. I chose one of the most popular and started creating a profile. This is where the first difficulties began: how best to describe yourself, what photos to upload? I want to be sincere, but at the same time show my best sides. I chose a few good photos and wrote about my hobbies and what I was looking for in a relationship.

First steps: from awkwardness to interest
After registration, I began looking through the profiles with interest.

The search continues: conclusions and advice
Now I continue to look for my soul mate, but I am no longer so anxious and not afraid of disappointments. The dating site became a great opportunity for me to expand my social circle and learn to better understand what I want in a relationship.

Here are some tips I can give to those who are just thinking about trying online dating:

Be honest and open. Write the truth about yourself and look for those who are truly interesting to you.
Don't be afraid of rejections and failures. This is part of the process, and each interaction brings its own experience.
Listen to your intuition. If something doesn't seem right, it's best not to continue the conversation.
Enjoy the process. Dating is fun and exciting, don't make it stressful.
I hope my story inspires you to new adventures and helps you find love. Good luck, dears!
