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
