In Person: The New dating Game Changer

Let’s face it: online dating has had its ups and downs. Ghosting? Check. Awkward video calls? Double check. But what if I told you that there’s a whole world beyond swiping left and right from the comfort of your couch? Enter the era of "in person" meetings.

The Good, the Bad, and the Awkward

Meeting someone in person can feel like stepping onto a battlefield. One minute you’re swiping left on a profile that features a dog in a tutu, the next you’re face-to-face with a human being who may or may not resemble their five-year-old profile picture.

So why go through this scary adventure? Because while the internet is great for sending memes, it’s not quite equipped for those heart-fluttering, sweaty-palm moments we all secretly crave.

Benefits of Going In Person:

1. No Filter Needed: What you see is what you get—unless they’re proficient in the art of contouring, in which case, all bets are off.
2. Real Chemistry: Feeling that spark? Or maybe just a case of indigestion? Either way, nothing beats the thrill of face-to-face interaction.
3. More Fun: Forget the awkwardness of virtual dates; you can actually enjoy a fun outing, like mini-golf or karaoke—where the only thing you’ll be swiping is that golf club!

The Risks of Meeting In Person

But, of course, there are risks. Not everyone has the social skills of a golden retriever. You might end up with a conversation that feels like you both just joined a debate club on potato chips.

Here’s How to Prepare:

• Pick a Public Place: Consider it a safe zone. Coffee shops are great—if they can make it through the line without spilling their drink on you, they might just be a keeper!
• Have an Escape Plan: If the date goes south faster than you can say “catfish,” have a friend on speed dial with a convincing reason to bail.
• Be Yourself: Okay, okay, I know this sounds cliché but think about it: Who else can do you like you can?
