Here's Why You Need to Start Video Dating

Are you ready to take things to the next level?

Consider having a video chat with other CatholicMatch users. This means you can video call other CatholicMatch users without leaving the CatholicMatch website or app!

While many of us are familiar with using video chatting for work, school, family, and everything else in-between, video dating may seem a little more intimidating. However, I'm here to share with you 5 reasons why it's important to video chat with your date! And, hopefully, I can ease your fears about getting started with it!

Reason #1: You can see what they look like!

Nobody wants to connect with someone online only to have them show up for a first date and look nothing like their profile photo! With video chatting, you'll never have to worry about this again. By getting to meet them through a video call first, you can get a real sense of what they look like in-person. While a profile picture can be worth 1,000 words, a video chat can be worth much, much, more!

Reason #2: Your personality can shine through.

We all know the struggle of conveying what we mean through messaging. Without facial expressions, tone, and personality, so much gets lost in translation! With video chat, you and your date can be your true selves without worrying about any miscommunication. By using video chat, you can better gauge if you have chemistry and if an in-person date is something worth planning.

Reason #3: You can find out who they really are.

We want all of our users to take safety seriously, which is why we encourage all of our users to video chat early-on in a relationship. Video chatting is the best way to ensure that the person really is who they say they are. If you keep asking someone to video chat and they refuse every time, that could be a red flag. If you feel that someone could be a scammer, don't be afraid to report their profile to our support team!

Reason #4: Keep your personal information safe.

Unlike FaceTime and Skype which require you to swap email addresses, social media handles, or phone numbers, video chatting in CatholicMatch allows you to keep all of your information private. If you're not ready to disclose personal contact information yet, but still want to get to know your date better, then video chatting in CatholicMatch is a perfect choice.

Reason #5: No more bad dates!

While messaging is great, connecting with someone face to face is important! By using video chat, you eliminate the time, expense, and awkwardness of bad first dates. Once you video chat with someone, you'll probably have a much better idea of whether they would be a good fit for you, which means you can date more effectively and choose to go out on dates with people you're actually interested in. Plus, after you've gone on a video chat or two, your first in-person date together will feel much more natural!

So, what are you waiting for? Start getting to know other Catholic singles by using the CatholicMatch video chat!
