Most girls on dating sites are just not my type. I know that I'm too picky. On tinder I'm just liking every girl that isn't repulsive. I'm thinking of asking them out on dates/meetups just to practice my dating/social skills. Is this a bad idea?

It depends on one's moral standing on it. I personally don't think it is fair on the people you date. Others wouldn't have a problem with it. Decide how you feel about it.

I'm doing this on tinder. It's known as a hookup app so I don't think too many girls are emotionally invested.

Yeah, sounds fair enough. I've never used the site but my understanding is it's not for finding soulmates

Not if you're honest about what you're looking for - just put that you're not looking for anything serious in your profile.

Good luck!

Yep...it's probably better if you keep it light.

Practice makes perfect--but not when the person really LIKES you, and you don't REALLY like her, it can get somewhat nasty.

If I wear a skirt, would you practice on me?

Yes you should do this.

I FINALLY figured out how to use Tinder. You just have to be witty and seem like a fun guy and use a creative pickup line. Then ask them to hangout within an hour or two.

Okay chances are you will be pretty nervous doing this BUT, this is good experience because it will get you experience going on dates. Even if the date absolutely goes sh***y and you never hear from her again, at least you got the experience going on a date so when you're a little older and you really like a girl, you will have a better understanding of knowing and not knowing what to do.

Seriously though, try to land a date on Tinder. You're not getting any younger you know. You won't be young forever. So why wait till the very last minute? Get a jump-start on your dating life.

Have you considered speed dating? It could help to improve your social skills.

In my area it's all for old straight people.
