I’ll try and minimize personal info in this post so that it’s harder to dox me. I am a cishet white man without any romantic experience who is interested in trying online dating. I know that resources about doing this exist, but I don’t know how to find them without getting PUA or other harmful advice mixed in.
What do I need to know/do/have before I try this?
Which apps should I use?
Are there guides that give relatively simple information on how to avoid harmful situations with online and not online dating?
Thanks for the advice 


Dating apps all sucked for me, met my fiancé IRL completely unplanned, so I don’t have any advice on that front.
What I will say, is be honest and genuine, and treat your date with respect, like a human. I know that’s obvious, but from the women I’ve spoken to, cishet dating is hell, period, especially with all of the PUA nonsense.
Just go on dates hoping to have fun and make a friend (or not), and if the vibes are great, try to go on follow ups!
