Hey, I don't mean to get personal, but hows your dating life going?
its going okay. I have a few dates a month. trying to take it slow to be honest. how about you?
I'm in college, I am not looking to get too tied down anytime soon. Any advice?
just take things at whatever pace you are into and when you are ready the right person will really hit you in the heart hard. no rush. 
That is very fair. What is your opinion of online dating?
Online dating can be interesting - you have to be cautious because you are meeting strangers on these sites. It can be fun though.
That is my biggest concern, fortunately with modern apps (tinder, bumble, etc.) you have some ideas of who you are meeting, through mutual friends. 
true. it also depends what you are looking for - a real date or a hookup, you know?
