In the Quiz entitled “How to date (online) safely” we open the topic of initiating relationships via the Internet.
The young people spend a significant part of their daytime online. Thanks to social networks, they are in contact with their peers all the time as well as with people that share common interests. The number of people who search for life partners via social networks have increased. For nonheterosexual young people, the online space can be a safer space for dating. Because of this, social networks are becoming a popular option for initiating various types of relationships.
As the use of internet and social networks is more widespread, the amount of risks naturally increases. As a part of our activity, we decided to concentrate on how to initiate relationships and communicate with strangers online safely while respecting ourselves and the other person. Online communication is not separable from real life.
One has to remember this all the time that consequences of social network communication have real impact on ourselves and others. We didn’t want to teach manners to young people. We also didn’t want to emphasise dangerous aspects of the internet and social networks. This is why we have decided to make this entertaining quiz. As a peaceful option, the information on risks and dangers of online dating will be passed on as well as the information on how to date with respect for ourselves and partners.
Social networks won’t disappear from lives of the young. The solution is not to avoid their use, but how to do it informed and safely. Our goal is to show ordinary situations that the young using social networks may encounter and how to face their possible pitfalls.
We don’t want the young people to discourage from online dating. Quite the opposite. We want to help, so that dating is not only successful but safe. It is useful to learn something about the process of online dating. For more information, please visit:
