The majority of dating apps and sites are designed for adults (minimum age of 18). However, parents should be aware that there are dating and meet up apps and sites designed for children as young as 12 – but these can still present risks to young people.

How old should you be to online date?

Typically, most Internet matchmaking sites require a minimum age of 18 to join, although most social media sites allow people of all ages to build profiles. I will suggest that women younger than 25 take advantage of the greatest men-meeting opportunities on the planet.
