3 Tips to Dating App Success

Yes, I know the dating apps aren’t fun but we cannot deny they are an incredible tool in helping us meet people we would not normally come across in our day to day lives. Especially since most of us work from home and have had our routines change drastically. I encourage you to stay positive and follow these steps to having a better dating app experience.

#1 - How responsive are you really?

There is no doubt that momentum plays a huge part in the dating app experience. It is an incredibly fast paced environment and there are easy ways to take advantage of that. If you find yourself spending a night on the couch, binging TV and swiping for hours, you may feel proud of yourself for your efforts given - however -  if you then wait 3 days before ever opening the app again, you can guarantee what traction you might have had is surely gone now. The best thing you can do is stay active on the dating apps. If you have determined you are ready to begin dating, then set an attainable goal for yourself of engaging with the app for at least 15 minutes a day. We know the algorithm loves to see active users so by checking in on a daily basis you will be sure to alter the type of user experience you have.

#2 - What is the quality of your conversation?

Be honest with yourself, do you get kind of lazy in your messaging? Do the abbreviations WYD? HBU? U UP? sound familiar? If so, you are doing yourself a disservice. Take the extra seconds to scan over the profile of the match you are about to message. Identify something within their question prompts or photos and pull from there to craft an engaging message. Your conversation should be authentic and also give the person something to respond to. Think of how you can keep the chat going.

#3 - Do you know your dating app goal?

Getting on a dating app without having a goal in mind will surely bring you a quick rush of overwhelm and discouragement. Knowing exactly what and who you’re looking will help you to ease some of the anxiety and aid in getting you to enjoy the experience, not dread it.
