Nowadays, most things get done through a screen—shopping, appointments, and more—so why not dating, too? Online dating has pretty much become the norm, and if you're looking for a relationship, you're considered unreasonable if you don't have at least two dating apps downloaded and ready to go.
But how do you navigate the world of dating apps? Especially so if you're a first-time user and haven't a clue. Well, here are some tips to help dating app beginners.
1. Find the Right App
Picking the right app(s) to use is crucial for the best possibility of success. You have to know which ones best suit you, and for that, you need to be aware of what each is known for in the dating-sphere.
For example, if you're a woman who'd prefer to make the first step and initiate the conversation, go with Bumble—women have to message first on that app. Bumble works using this unique chat setup, so you're bound to find some good matches using it. You can also find apps that cater to specific dating pool preferences. Apps like HER and Grindr are for the LGBTQ+ crowd, Stir is for parents looking to date, and BLK is a dating app for Black singles. There are even dating apps for seniors—you can find a match at any age.
Of course, dating apps generally have boxes you can tick or fill in to specify what you're looking for in a partner. Hinge introduced a dedicated Dating Intentions feature where you can specify what type of relationship you want at the moment.
The bottom line is, everything will go much smoother and easier for both you and your matches if you're all on the same page from the get-go. Having preferences is not a bad thing. Ensuring you find the right app will save you a ton of wasted time and energy sorting through matches. Read More...
