Is There A Kik Dating App Or Site?
Kik Messenger is also a wonderful way to meet new people. And we are not just talking about making new friends (although, yes, absolutely, you can make lots of new exciting friends on Kik Messenger, too), but also using is for dating purposes.
Kik Messenger is first a foremost an app that allows social interaction. Make of that what you will. Dating people is a popular activity. It has remained part of our culture for decades, as seen on all those movies and TV shows that feature dating. And we are not just talking about romance or romantic comedies. In real life, dating is also a fundamental part of modern life. If anything else, dating is a fun way of meeting new people.
Since the advent of the Internet dating has become truly revolutionized. First came all those dating websites promising to match us app with the right person whether we were looking to date men, women or both. Then, there was a really avalanche of dating apps, such as Tinder or Grindr, among many many others.
If you are reading this article is because you would be at least a little bit curious about whether you have use Kik Messenger as an online dating app. There are a few things that need clarifying before we go on, first.
If you search for Kik dating apps or something along those lines you will probably come across many different websites that claim to help you find boys or girls (that is the terminology they normally used). If you decide to use any of those sites to meet new people on the Kik Messenger (whether for dating purposes or otherwise), you will need to be ready for explicit content of an adult nature. There is a big chance that you will come across that type of content if you decide to use any of those websites. We are not saying that all content there would be of that nature, but a lot of it is so be prepared for it and, if you are not comfortable at all with that type of content, then you should probably avoid using those services altogether. Also, you will need to bear in mind that all those websites or apps are unofficial and not associated on any way with the Kik Messenger app.
The best way to meet other single people is by far using Kik groups or a Kik party. If you use Kik Messenger groups or parties, you will not need to use unofficial third party apps or websites. You will be able to meet potential dates on your smart phone or mobile device through the official Kik Messenger app.
How Do You Use Kik Groups or Kik Parties for Dating?
If you do not have the Kik Messenger app already in your smart phone or mobile app, the first thing to do would be to grab it and head over to the official app store for your device (the Google Play app store if you use an Android mobile device or the Apple app store is you use an iPhone or an iPod, etc.). Search for Kik Messenger and download it for free. Unlike other available instant messaging platforms, Kik Messenger is both free to download and free to use (there are no fees involved, hidden or otherwise). Once the application has been downloaded, just take a few seconds to complete the sign up process and before you know it you will ready to start chatting to people for around the corner and round the world.
Many Kik Messenger users go to social media to advertise their Kik groups or Kik parties. They do this by sharing their Kik codes or hashtags. Whether it be on Facebook or Twitter, you can find Kik parties or Kik groups easily. Just check your friends’ feeds for hashtags and Kik codes.
Normally, a simple search will bring up many results. The most common hashtags are #kikgroup and #kikparty or others along those lines. If you can across Kik codes, you will be able to scan them with your smart phone or mobile device so you will be able to go straight to the party or group and start chatting to other people.
It is worth considering though that not everyone who joins in a Kik party or a Kik group may not be single or be after dating. There is more than a slim chance that Kik Messenger users who go on group chats or join Kik parties would be after dating. Just do not assume that everyone is after that and be extra respectful when approaching someone you have not chatted to before.
Using this method to find people to date on the Kik Messenger is not exempt of the possibility of coming across explicit content of an adult nature. Again, not everybody of Kik parties or Kik groups would be interested in this type of content but there is a possibility that you may encounter some of it, so always proceed with caution and an open mind.
Some people use Kik games as a way to break the ice when joining a Kik Messenger group or party. There are many different games available and playing Kik games is only getting more and more popular with time. Because of the popularity of Kik games as ice breakers, it may be a good idea if you were to familiarize yourself with the most popular Kik games before you were invited to a Kik party or a Kik group were you would be expected to play. Avoid making a fool of yourself, and get your game practice in before you go around trying to meet new people on Kik Messenger.
If the idea of joining Kik parties or Kik games does not appeal to you, there are other options for dating on Kik Messenger. So, if perhaps you are not all too comfortable to chat to a bunch of people at the same time (after all, there is nothing really private about joining a Kik parties or Kik games), the good news is that there are different approaches to Kik Messenger dating that you can take, instead.
Using the friend finder websites that I mentioned briefly earlier is not a bad idea, after all. At least you will be able to search for individual users, which may be more appealing to you than joining a group chat or a party where everyone who is part of it will be able to read your text messages or see the files that you share with the group. And, although it is true that you can also chat to group members individually if you want, it could take you quite some time to think someone you may consider worth talking to. If you just search for individual Kik users, instead, you could at least save you some time if nothing else.
Using a Kik friend finder site will allow you to narrow down your search to the kind of person you would be interesting in chatting, using gender, age, and other criteria. You will also be able to find someone available to chat regardless of the time of day or the day of the week.
If you are still not convinced about using one of the Kik Messenger friend finder sites out there, there is one final way of meeting people. This also involves social media but, unlike the Kik group or Kik party method you covered earlier, you will be able to find individuals to chat to. People who are up for dating and use social media often advertise or publicize their Kik usernames on their social media profiles.
Finally there are some dating apps that use Kik usernames to match people up. We are talking about Matcher and Match & Chat. You can give them a try but know that even though those apps use information from Kik, they are in no way affiliated to or supported by Kik Messenger.
Whatever method you use for meeting other single people on Kik Messenger there are few tips we could give you for making the experience fun and safe.
Use humor. That you should be friendly and respectful of others almost should go without saying but also try to use humor as this is a great icebraker and most people are attracted to wit.
Put your safety first. Do not give too much personal information about yourself to strangers (even if you have been chatting to them for a while). Kik Messenger allows you to connect to people without giving them private information such as your telephone number so there is no need to give this over to other users. Also, your exact location, your real full name, and other pieces of personal information are better being kept private.
Relax and have fun. Do not get too serious or talk about depressing things with people. This would only put them off you and create a negative image of you in their mind.
Although there are some unofficial Kik dating apps and websites, none of them are affiliated to Kik Messenger.
There are a lot of ways in which you can meet single people on Kik without using other dating sites or apps.
