5 great hacks to find your online date anonymously

Looking for an online dating adventure is fun and games, but your data privacy is essential. For many reasons, you should be careful about putting your personal information on the internet. It could be embarrassing if your family and coworkers found your fantasies on your dating profile. And if you’re in a relationship, you wouldn’t want your partner to know about your extracurricular activities.

To enjoy your sexual explorations fully, you must protect your anonymity. I’ve managed to keep my identity concealed through all my romantic exploits by following some simple hacks.

1. Choose a creative username

Anonymity starts with your username. Your username should never include a reference to your real name. Names such as “BenjaminS” or “David90” could already be your death knell. Instead, choosing a name that doesn’t reveal much would be best. In my experience, “Starcatcher” will always beat “Steven79”. A creative username can be a great conversation starter, and the mystery lingers in ladies’ memories for longer.

Personal tip: Avoid macho names such as “RowdySteed” or “Sixpack” that scare women off.

2. Carefully design your profile

A complete dating profile is mandatory, but there is a way to keep your data secret. Don’t provide too much detail that could identify you. It’s best to find a good balance between openness and secrecy. After all, women also love discovering who you are. An essential element of your profile is your profile image. But make sure that your dating platform offers options for ensuring your anonymity. For example, image masking and pixelation options can be canceled on request.

Personal tip: Pick a dating site/ app that places value on data protection. That way, you will never find your profile picture or gallery images on any search engine.

3. Protect your contact information

Most dating providers only need a username and password to register. Previously, the city of residence, age, and other personal data were collected. Data protection provisions have made this process obsolete – and that’s great for you and your anonymity! Many portals also offer anonymous conversation options, such as telephone conferences with an encrypted number. Most women want to avoid risks and at least have a phone call with a member before getting to know them in person. There are unique chat options that make this possible!

Personal tip: I use software such as Skype to make calls without disclosing my phone number.

4. Always pay anonymously

With many dating platforms, you won’t get around to having to obtain a Premium membership. These memberships offer many more features and improve your chances of finding the best contacts to flirt with. It is important to ensure that your payment method enables the greatest possible degree of anonymity. Many portal operators provide a special service: they work with financial service providers who use a harmless name listed on your invoice or bank statement. This way, no third party can trace the identity of the actual provider receiving the money.

Personal tip: I recommend using payment methods that stand out in terms of anonymity, such as Paysafecard, PayPal, or a prepaid credit card, which you can get from many banks.

5. Use software to stay anonymous

The safest way to stay truly anonymous online is by using a VPN. This service encrypts your IP address and ensures you remain secure and completely anonymous when dating online. VPN software mainly protects you against hackers and data theft.

Personal tip: I also use a VPN to secure my online payments to stay extra safe.
