Dating apps
I started using a dating app recently and lots of people want you to give out your instagram or social media to talk on there/ see your real.
I say I don’t add random people because I have pictures of my daughter on there and never actually know who your talking to. I always say it in a lighthearted way.
Some people seem to get put off by this or even annoyed but I guess these are not reasonable people anyway as I think it’s a reasonable reason not to give it out or maybe they think I am using a fake profile I don’t know 🤷🏼♀️
Does anyone else use dating apps and do you add random people etc before meeting ?

@Tasmin yeah I feel it’s strange to not understand why it’s not like I don’t want to just give it out I’m protecting my daughter guess it’s weeds out any weirdos early! Ah that’s lovely Thank you x
When I was dating (pre children) I would be question anyone refusing to give social media details…. Only because it is an indicator if you’re real or not & makes me think there’s something to hide. I wouldn’t just add anyone though I would expect some conversations beforehand & if it was leading up to actually meeting then I would want to Facebook vet. I think anyone genuine wouldn’t push to hard so stick to your instincts because there are loaded of weirdos out there too !

I’ve used dating apps and like you refuse to give my social media details for the same reasons. At the end of the day if they can’t respect the fact you’re safeguarding your daughter they’re not worth a second thought. I’ve met someone through the apps and has been so respectful about boundaries with social media and my daughter, and now a few months on treats her like his own. these people do exist I promise. Just keep doing what you’re doing and don’t change anything unless you’re comfortable and completely sure of it. You got this mamma! xx
