Today Internet is replete with all sorts of sites that serve as platforms for dating. The World Wide Web is blurring the boundaries between countries, and now having a romantic correspondence online with a hot Spaniard no longer seems like something out of the ordinary.

If on West Since online dating has already become commonplace, we – Russians – approach this issue with caution. It seems that the partner is Internet Only notorious perverts-losers, swindlers and gigolos are looking for. But there are people sitting there who are just as adequate as you.

WITHThe rhythm of our lives no longer leaves much room for finding new friends in reality, and the chances of running into a scammer in a bar are no less than in Networks.

• Of course, to avoid unpleasant situations, you must follow some safety rules.
• First, create a new email to protect your personal data. When communicating with a stranger, do not rush to give your address or phone number. A strong password will also reduce the risk of your profile being hacked and personal information stolen. On serious dating sites, it is possible to start communicating with the candidate you like not through personal mail, but in a chat. Never neglect this service, if you want to interrupt communication, just delete the user and he will no longer be able to bother you.

I interviewed my friends, and it turned out that each of them at least once tried to find happiness on a dating site. Today there are several reliable resources: Tinder, eDarling, Badoo, Mamba, Love-planet, Dating.ru. Try starting with them. More and more sites are creating mobile applications, because they are the future.

Tinder

The most popular application among young people Tinder. This application has rapidly gained popularity during 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, because it was exactly what famous athletes used. So, if you want an athlete, then download quickly Tinder! The application is free.

Mamba

If you give preference to quantity over quality, then make a choice in favor of Mamba. This platform unites a number of independent sites, so there will be many more contenders for your heart. You can download the application for your mobile phone completely free of charge.

eDarling

Many girls are interested in horoscopes and all kinds of psychological tests. If you are one of them and rely on psychology and stars when choosing a partner, then you definitely need to get acquainted with a site like eDarling. The details of dating there are based precisely on these principles.

Badoo

Not every website, and especially a mobile application, can support multiple languages ​​on its premises, but it can Badoo. If you are lucky enough to know several foreign languages ​​and you have a desire to communicate with young people from the most exotic countries, then register for Badoo.

If you are immediately invited on a date, don’t panic! Imagine that you are about to meet a relative whom you have never seen before - the tension will immediately subside. And remember that the less expectations you have from the meeting, the fewer disappointments there will be. Don't idealize him.

Online dating is not just a romantic plot from a TV series, but a very real life. Don't be afraid to try. A living example for me that this works is my sister. Eve(25). She met her fiancé at Internet, and the difference in time zones and mentality is not a hindrance for them at all. So throw away stereotypes and go for it!

Dating applications have found their way into almost every smartphone. Let's find out how they differ and how useful the most popular ones really are.

Tinder

How it works The program finds other users nearby, selecting the gender you are interested in, and offers to tag the next person in the photo by clicking on the green heart, or, conversely, reject it by scrolling through the page. If you have the same likes, a joyful “It’s a match” appears on the screen. Then it’s up to you: you can scroll further, or you can write a message and arrange a meeting.

Pros One of the most popular applications in the world. The user base is huge: if you find the love of your life, you certainly won’t get bored.

Cons Tinder will never show you a user you've previously rejected, so take your time when clicking the cross. At the same time, in the profiles, food for thought, the cat cried: a maximum of three photographs, a name (often fictitious), age and sometimes a phrase from the series “Lonely Traveler and Dreamer.”

Tinder by the numbers

• Every 24 hours, 14 million potential couples meet on Tinder
• Tinder has been downloaded 40 million times since its launch in 2012.
• 30 million users view each other's profiles every day
• 1.2 billion views accumulate per day

Vera, 24 years old:

“I downloaded Tinder when I was desperate to find the right person any other way. An acquaintance told me that, unlike many vulgar dating sites, there are normal guys from our social circle there. I ended up going on two dates through Tinder. The first one was pleasant, but nothing more. And on the second I met Andrey. He had only one photo, and his face was not visible on it at all - only a blurred outline. But for some reason I clicked like, and Andrey wrote to me. It was Saturday, around 9 am, I had just woken up and was lying in bed, fiddling with my phone. The conversation started quickly, we wrote to each other non-stop , in a couple of hours we managed to discuss everything in the world, as if we had known each other all our lives. A couple of hours later we met on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, had breakfast, chatted again without ceasing, walked all day and late into the night, rode on the swings in Gorky Park... In general, I wanted the day not to end. This was almost a year ago, and this New Year Andrey proposed to me. This is such an unexpected turn.”

OKcupid

How it works Almost the same way: in front of you is a “leaflet” with photos. To the left - pass, to the right - like.

Pros: After downloading this application, answer the survey questions, even if some of them seem stupid. Thanks to all these details, OKcupid will find those who match you on most points. The likelihood of ending up on a date with an uninteresting character approaches zero.

Cons Intrusive notifications and costs: for example, to be aware of who liked you, you will have to pay $269 per month.

Anastasia, 26 years old:

“Almost all of my dates through OKcupid were quite pleasant and interesting, and one even turned into a long and very intense conversation. I regularly see and communicate with several men. There was also a funny incident: we actively corresponded, and then accidentally met on the street. In a city of millions!”

Badoo

How it works There is a gallery of faces in front of you: in order for your face to also appear in the front row, you will have to pay. Smiling tanned beauties, incredibly pumped up oriental men, usually fictitious names... You can, however, link your account to a Facebook profile and find very real people. Usually, after registration, you receive automatic messages: “Igorek wants to communicate”, “Yulia wants to communicate”, “Mustafa wants to communicate”... If you are not inclined to experiment, it is better to block.

Pros Suitable for girls who are accustomed to waiting for initiative from men. And enterprising men.

Cons The program is more likely for those who are willing to fork out money: users of the free version do not even see who liked them.

Varvara, 26 years old:

“I downloaded Badoo when my serious relationship suddenly ended abruptly. I didn’t want to be left alone, and among my acquaintances I didn’t see any men with whom I wouldn’t mind getting close. Men searching through Badoo use paid features to have access to the full profile of girls. So all girls have to do is upload a photo and be found. That's what I did. They immediately started writing to me, and from the first message it was immediately clear whether to continue communication or not. Actually, this is how I met my boyfriend, with whom we have not parted for two years.”

Yep!

How YEP works! finds company for those who want it here and now, and for all occasions. You can specify any type of activity (drink coffee, talk, walk in the park), meeting place and wishes. In a couple of seconds you will have options.

Pros: Versatility.

Cons Those who are in love need to remember: meeting for the sake of company for joint leisure is more likely to develop into friendship, and not into love.

Dmitry, 33 years old:

“I dated through YEP! ten times, but communication did not result in something serious - we chatted with new acquaintances, drank tea, went to the cinema and even to yoga. But a year ago I went with one girl for a walk in Sokolniki, and since then we have been together. Of course, I deleted the application, but I advise single people.”

Dating services are suitable for different things: someone is looking for a friend to go to the cinema, and someone is looking for a travel companion. All goals are good, but if yours is global and about love forever, then first you need to thoroughly prepare.

1. Make your profile visible

A photo and a cloud of interests are the first things your potential soul mate will see. Therefore, create your profile in good faith. It's not as difficult as it seems.

Think about what you want to say about yourself? How do you want the other person to perceive you? What can interest you and what is your highlight?

You shouldn't be too original: it may seem strange. Be careful with humor. If you can joke in a way that everyone can understand, joke. And if your sense of humor is similar to the British one, leave it for later: you can show your stand-up skills in correspondence or in a meeting.

The more information about yourself you provide, the easier it will be for the other person to understand who you are and where to start the conversation. Photos will also say a lot about you. Choose good portrait photos in which you smile: a sincere smile makes you likeable. Of course, you want to look your best in the photo, but it still has to be you, so no duck faces. Your beauty lies in naturalness.

In Badoo, in addition to photos, you can also upload videos. Make your profile come alive, show everyone how you are cutting through the waves on the surf or dancing at the concert of your favorite band.

2. Take care of your comfort

Decide who you are looking for. Age, appearance and hobbies are the simplest. Review your profile carefully and think ahead. For example, here is a handsome athlete. Are you ready to discuss workouts, count calories and make protein breakfasts together? Common interests are a good foundation for strong relationships.

Stop communication if something is in doubt or your personal boundaries are attacked. It is quite logical to worry about the reality of the person at the other end of the Internet: not all dating services ensure the safety of users. And those who care about this come up with ways of reliable verification. Thus, Badoo uses photo verification: it confirms the user’s identity in one minute and signals this with a checkmark in the profile.

Girls at Badoo have an interesting advantage. They can ask for selfie verification in response to a stranger's first message. Access to the gallery is not possible at this moment. The only option is to take a good selfie.

If the dialogue goes well, you call on a video chat and communicate almost live. This way you keep in touch with people from different parts of the world without revealing your phone number.

3. Don't be afraid to take initiative

You may be waiting for a message because you are embarrassed to take the first step. Pause and not answer for a certain number of minutes, so as not to seem too interested. Silently think about going on a date instead of inviting one yourself. This looks like curtsies from the century before last and is long outdated.

Be modern and open. Polite initiative is not punishable.

But do not confuse it with importunity: if they don’t answer you once, then a second time, there is no need to insist. There can be many reasons for silence. From a change in priorities to a banal lack of mood. Take it easier and remember: there are many people in the world who are ready to get to know you. For example, Badoo, the largest dating service in the world, has more than 369 million users. Surely your soulmate is somewhere among them.

4. Don't fall in love instantly

Emotions are difficult to control, and this is absolutely normal. Sometimes you can find yourself in love after just a couple of days of communicating on the Internet. Try not to create illusions: the more you draw in your imagination, the more you may be disappointed later. Trying on a surname, planning a trip and coming up with names for the children - all this will be done in time.

Enjoy the ease, getting to know each other, and don't push yourself too hard. Don't be offended if a person doesn't give you their full attention: your new acquaintance can communicate with several people at the same time, and as long as you're at the stage of establishing contact, there's nothing wrong with that.

Let everything take its course - banal and simple wisdom. Don't forget about her.

5. Speak the same language

And it's not about grammar. Although that won't hurt either. You can chat with old friends however you like, they will understand. But for a new person, the lack of commas can be intimidating. As well as the banal “Hi, how are you?” Of course, a lot depends on the interlocutor, but usually such phrases only infuriate, like soulless spam mailings.

Be creative. Note similar interests, unusual hobbies, cool photos, and finally, give a compliment.

The main thing is sincerity and an individual approach.

Surely you know people who talk only about themselves. Don't do this. Dose out personal information, ask more, but tactfully: a question about your financial situation is unlikely to be appropriate, but about the most vivid impression of the last week is quite appropriate.

It is not necessary to talk about each other all the time. Switch to general topics: who knows where talking about the weather might take you. Perhaps for a first date, which also needs to be done properly.

Hi all)

Today the object of my review is the application (site) for dating and communication Badoo.🙂

The application is available on both Android and IOS, but some people use the site from a computer - honestly, I have never tried to use this site from a computer.

As my practice shows, the application works well on both Android and iPhones and iPads.

I’ve been using this app for probably 3-4 years now 😱 Therefore, I think I have something to tell!

The whole point of this application is dating and networking. Install the application, register, upload your best photos and start dating!) Your task is to give likes (hearts) to the people you like. The opposite sex (or not, depending on what orientation you are) will also appreciate your answer and either like or not like you. If your likes coincide, then you will receive a notification about this and you can safely write to this person :) Well, if you like someone very much, you can write right away! Without any hearts there.

The application has a wonderful feature - look at people who are not far from you (but to be honest, I never liked everyone who was not far from me 😄).

Contingent.

The contingent in this application, I must say right away, is motley. There are adequate ones, there are not adequate ones, there are those who simply have nothing better to do and decided to joke, there are those who “think only about one thing”, there are those who are looking for love and those who are not looking for it - there are also those.

As a young girl, people of different ages write to me - from 15 to 50 😱 As they say, the market needs to be filtered and all interlocutors with whom you would not really like to communicate are best left unanswered, because if you start to to explain something, hysterics and insults begin.

1. It is better to register on the site not through social networks, but through email. This way, you will eliminate the possibility of people you don’t want to communicate with following different links in your profile to your social networks. Do you need it so that a person who is unpleasant to you will knock on your door once again?

2. Also, so that annoying people are less likely to search for you on social networks (unless, of course, you really want this, I don’t know your intentions), I advise you to indicate a different name in your profile. If you find an interesting interlocutor and you want to continue communicating with him outside the site, then explain to him that your name is actually different. If a person is adequate, he will understand.

3. Under no circumstances take offensive words personally and do not follow the lead of your interlocutor if your views categorically do not coincide with his! How many times have they tried to teach me life on this site! And my photos should be different, and I should communicate differently! And I have to lie down under someone right away! And I have to run to a meeting on the very first day of communicating with a person! This is all nonsense.

4. Fill out the form correctly, immediately dot all the “e’s” and if you are looking for a serious relationship, immediately indicate this information.

I recommend it to anyone who is lonely and looking for friends
