Open to social media date requests?

Although the online dating websites and apps are seeing an increase in activity this time of year, some people make connections with other social media platforms. A friend of mine had someone ask her out on Yelp and another friend has been flirting with a guy on Instagram.

It can be a little different in that there is some familiarity if you have been following one another. This can be a little dangerous though, a false sense of security is not helpful when you are basically getting to know a stranger. You should use the same precautions as you would if you met someone on the street or at a bar.

Have you ever asked someone out that you met through a blog or on Twitter? Are you open to dating someone who you met through a non-dating website or social media platform
