Hi Ravi ji, I have been just dumped by someone. I am looking to settle down now. Is Dating App a safe option than Marriage websites? Is it fine to meet anyone from Dating App for Marital purpose?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

Dating apps in today's day and age are not only exclusively for dating but people also use these apps to find meaningful friendships and even a life partner. It gives you more control over the choosing process than the traditional arranged marriage system. I'd say dating apps are the perfect option for you to choose a partner.

Coming to how to pick the right dating app for you- some apps are known for catering to people who are looking for casual relationships and maybe occasional friendships. Those are not for you. Pick an app that caters to your need- which is to find long-term, exclusive relationships. There are many out there. Once you find the perfect fit, please write a detailed BIO where you mention the kind of partner and relationship you are seeking. It will attract the right kind of people and save you time and energy. Don't forget to write a few lines on what YOU have to offer.

Best Wishes!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

There are several amazing dating apps in India that tailored specifically for the Indian audience. While I can't name them, I would suggest doing a little research before picking one. The right fit should cater to your needs- casual dating. Some apps are more suited for serious daters while others are focused on casual dating- the latter should be fine for you. Once you do find the right one for you, make sure to optimize your profile well to find a match quickly. A clear and recent picture as your DP and a well-written Bio will do the trick.

Best Wishes.
