My profile

About me

By day I'm a regular guy and by night a superhero … How tiring is that?!

Just joking! I'm a regular guy all the time, good job, close to my family, just bought my own flat with a cat. Actually, my cat thinks I'm a hero because I saved her from the street. I'm a talkative person and I believe communication is the most important thing in a relationship.

Likes and dislikes

I love pizza if it's Italian, wine if it's white, and football if it's the World Cup. I read a lot, especially true life stories, but most of my books live on my phone.

Hobbies

I love to travel and I'm always planning my next trip. I prefer an active holiday like hiking, skiing or watersports and I get bored lying on the beach. I post lots of photos on Instagram as I'm a good photographer but I'd really love to share the holiday with someone. Maybe you'll take the photos on the next trip. wink

Tips

1. Write about your good points, not your bad points.

2. Don’t include every single thing. Choose a few points and focus on them.

3. Don’t add your contact details (e.g. address, phone number). You could get unwanted messages.

4. Check your spelling and punctuation before you post.

5. You can use punctuation and emojis when you’re joking, e.g. ?! and wink.

Hi, how are all? Honestly idk cause i never use this apps but i think in this days a lot of people use this type of apps and i don't think is bad though always to be careful when you meet with other person and you don't know who it is and what is her/him intentios with you. For me is very difficult to meet people and have a date thanks for dating apps. I prefer to use instagram or twitter but i never have a date thanks to these apps because i'm very shy when i meet people

It's ok but I think if we find friends in the real world like the gym, it would be better.

I believe that apps dating are not good way to meet friends because the people using social media are always share with an amazing things and you believe that as true story but when you meet the guy face on face you will see his real face. finally i don’t like to make friends through the apps.

I think It is good to use apps for meet new people, because it is very easy. I can send message, and then if I want I can have a real meet. It's nice.

I'm not sure whether it's a good way to meet people on dating apps or not. It's good opportunity to meet someone but we have to be careful with meeting in person. some are nice, some are not so nice. but actually my friend met her boyfriend on a dating app and they are still really in love. I guess if you are a good judge of character, it's good way to use them.

I don't think that dating apps a good way to meet people and make relationship. Most of accounts in dating app are fake so there is big risk of being cheated. Now a days i read a lot of news regarding this. Never blindly trust online friends and always try to get maximum information before making invisible person a friend.
