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.

My profile

About me

I'm a truly busy guy because I prefer to do the things that are worthwhile and fit with my goals and objectives. At the same time, I am quite regular in my whole life; therefore, I am going forward with the tasks that have a higher priority. When my family needs my help, I’m ready to help them as much as possible.

Hobbies

I love learning new languages all the time, and I work very hard to acquire and understand new knowledge and phenomena related to the new language. I also play cards and chess as I find free time with friends.

I think that datting apps have two sides. First one, these apps help us make a lot of friends, we can share each other's interests and we can learn things from friends and also two people can become a couple.
Second one, we can have the bad people. They use us to do bad things. So, the important thing is that we must have more life experiences to recognise the good or bad people

Ok, I'm a quiet person, some introvert. I like things that make me happy, such as the design of things, such as architecture and graphic design. The arts like classic music, painting.
About social media, I find their use in the new knowledge, discoveries, and technical advances from my links.🤞

I think dating apps could be a choice to meet new people because it's not only for dating purposes but also to find a new friends. I never use the dating app but I heard the story from my friend that they meet new people with different backgrounds so it can wider their connection. And some of my friends also meet their other half on these apps. They get married and have kids and it is because they meet on dating apps.

I think dating apps are good to get to know a lot of people and to find out what type of person you need to be happy with. Also it's a great opportunity to meet some people you wouldn't be able to meet in the real life. But it never will be a love at first sight.

Are dating apps a good way to meet people?
I think datting apps are good way to meet new people, because you just chating with her/his. You don't see terrible things because if you dont like this person you only should delay it. Moreover you can like this person AND to have good memories :)

The app dating is a good way to meet people. I think so because now The people are so busy with their job. They don't have time to meet and connect with one another. But it has a little risky, so we should be conscious when using app dating.

Everything also has 2 sides. And using dating app is not exempt. You won't spend a lot of time to see if your boy or girlfriend is suitable for you when using dating apps. Beside that, you can choose the most suitable person for you who has the personalities you loved. Nevertheless, each photos that you see in their profile don't make sure that their appearances in real life also look like in their profile. The best way to using these apps is checking carefully before having a date.
