Free dating - Online

The internet simply has everything Want furniture? Look online! Want information? Look online! Want to find a partner? Look online! Besides the popular classic social networks like Facebook, Instagram and co., there are also so-called dating platforms. These usually offer both a free and a paid version. For the average user the free version is definitely enough. A bit of advertising here, a small restriction there. On most sites you can do your free dating comfortably from the couch.

And this doesn't apply only to teenagers. No, dating through online channels has by now reached the middle of society. There are various reputable platforms for older generations and/or college graduates

Pros:

  • fast
  • uncomplicated
  • wide choice

Cons:

  • impersonal
  • lots of competition
  • the other person may present themselves falsely

Free dating - Offline

Even today you can still look for a partner offline. Whether in clubs, cafes or at the bakery in the morning, approaching someone directly costs only one thing: courage. Besides the risk of getting turned down, there's the chance to score points right away. People are rarely approached directly these days, the other person appreciates that, and your chances of a date go up.

Pros:

  • direct
  • more genuine
  • no long texting

Cons:

  • fear of rejection (getting shot down)
  • can get embarrassing

It comes to a date For free dating to lead further than the first date, you first have to get through that one too. Since you'll get to know a potential partner properly at some point anyway, you shouldn't pretend to be someone else on the first date either. A falsely created mood would be wrecked by date two or three at the latest, and all the effort would have been for nothing. It's better to be open, honest and direct, and to find out whether real chemistry can develop or not.

Since dating is free and goes very fast, the next date may already be waiting right around the corner. So better to find the right one than lots of wrong ones.
