Being a plus size since my high school years, the idea of dating never crossed my mind. I automatically assumed that guys will never date someone as curvy as me. In this day and age, most boys would prefer dating someone more attractive and fit so I never really put myself out there.



Chances of Finding Love Online

So I grew up as a very shy girl who always preferred to stay inside my house rather than spend time with friends. That is when I was first introduced to the wonders of the internet. So there are different ways to find love online. This includes joining a dating app or site, meeting people via social media and online gaming.

I wasn't the type to talk to people I don't know so the first two options is a no-no for me. I went with online gaming and there I met the one. We've been online friends for YEARS before we found out we had feelings for each. And I guess I was one of the lucky girls who found a man who never looked at a girl's weight or looks to have feelings for them.

I didn't show myself at first...

During the first few years of my online gaming, I never revealed to anyone my true self. I made a new social media account and all the friends I had there are people I met online. Despite that, I actually made a lot of friends including my boyfriend. We started out as just friends and I mean really just friends. And after 2 years, that's when the feelings started.

Can true love be found online?

So the big question is can true love be found online? Yes. I truly believe people can find true love online. But it is important to never rush into things. Take your time whether you prefer chatting, meeting people online or online gaming like me.

Remember that people can pretend they are someone else to gain your trust and do bad things to you so always be extra careful. Don't just share personal information or meet them right away. Always listen to your friends. Most of the time when we start to have feelings for someone, we don't see their flaws and that's where our friends help us. They tell us what we don't see so we don't get hurt.
