I tried a few international apps, but I found that the conversations often went nowhere.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"57\">Everything changed when I tried a dedicated local platform. I realized that when people are &#8220;verified,&#8221; they tend to be more respectful and intentional. Being able to exchange <b data-path-to-node=\"57\" data-index-in-node=\"176\">WhatsApp contacts<\/b> early on made the process feel more human. I could hear their voice and see their status updates, which made them feel like a real person in my life rather than just a photo on a screen.
