The biggest advantage was the diversity of people. In real life, our social circle is limited, but online, you can meet people from another city or even country. This expands your horizons and allows you to see relationships in a new light.
I liked that the communication starts without pressure. Texting makes it easier to open up, share thoughts and feelings. You have time to consider your answers and ask important questions. Trust gradually builds, and by the time you meet in person, you already feel a sense of intimacy.
Online dating also teaches respect and honesty. People are more likely to be open about their intentions. This reduces the risk of misunderstandings and makes the process more transparent. You choose who to continue communicating with and who not.
For me, this experience wasn't just a way to meet new people, but an opportunity for personal growth. I became more confident and learned to better understand my desires and values. Online dating proved that genuine feelings can start with a simple message.
