My son (17 years) is showing an interest to use online dating.
Can anyone suggest share their experiences?

I've only every met my partners through the internet. When I was at uni I met my first serious boyfriend through MySpace and have used various dating apps since. I'm getting married at the end of April and met my fiancé though Bumble.
I prefer internet dating as you get to learn about the person via text first, which takes the pressure off the first face-to-face meeting.
I'm traditional in the sense that I like the man to make the first move dating wise. The general rule tends to be that you're asked out on a date within a few days of messaging and the first meet up is within a week. This way if your not compatible when you meet you haven't wasted too much time focusing on that one person.
I prefer activity dates, as there isn't as much pressure on the social side compared to meeting in a pub. My first date with the guy I met through MySpace started off with bowling as we could have a small chat in between swings but I also had lots of little breaks to manage my nerves. The first date with my fiancé was a walk around a nature reserve, as it was so successful we then went for a meal.
