Dating apps have entirely changed the landscape of modern dating. They make meeting new people easier – especially if you are new to a city, can’t squeeze in enough time to meet new people, or want a quick rebound. But even when you do have all the time in the world, dating apps are great because they show you a wide variety of potential boos, saving you the embarrassment of flirting with the barista at your coffee shop who happens to be in a relationship (Ouch!).

While there’s a lot of benefits to online dating, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people find them overwhelming while others think they’re superficial. Sure, these criticisms are all valid, but chances are you will most likely end up downloading one of them whether you like it or not – that’s the way it goes. 

Below are 5 tips to make dating apps work for YOU!

1. Find The Right Dating App Platform

From Tinder, to Hinge, to Bumble, to other apps like Raya or Coffee Meets Bagel, there is an app to scratch your itch out there. Ask friends about their experiences with different dating apps so that you can choose the right platform to kick off your dating career. 

2. Curate Your Profile With Intention

If you’re serious about wanting to find your next bae on a dating app, then your profile should reflect that. Choose photos that reflect your personality and come up with a witty description – it’ll help you showcase who you really are.

3. Forget About Your Type

Most people believe they have a ‘type’, whether it’s a certain look, style, or even profession. When you’re using dating apps, you should let go of all preconceived notions about who your future partner will be and instead look at all your options with an open mind.

4. Limit Your Time

Just like any other social media app, dating apps can suck you right in. If you notice yourself spending too much time on them, put your phone down and distract yourself. These moments are the perfect time to check-in with yourself and your friends.

5. Don’t Lose Motivation

Don’t forget the saying, “You kiss a lot of frogs before meeting your prince (or princess!).” Going on bad dates and meeting some duds is completely normal. Still, the right person for you is out there. Stay positive so that you can find your person!
