Tips To Score The Ideal Date For Valentine

“We met through a dating app.” You hear it everywhere these days. Dating apps are used a lot.Not only to find a serious relationship, but also to just look for a nice date. Are you single but really don't want to spend this Valentijn alone? Dating app Fruits already gives three tips to fine-tune your dating profile so that you find the ideal date before the fourteenth of February.

1. Choose The Right Profile Pictures 

Choose photos that best describe you. According to a survey by YouGov, 55% of respondents believe that not having a picture of your face is the main reason people swipe to the next profile. People want to know who they are talking to. But how do you choose exactly the right photos? Fruits offers you a three-step plan:

1. The power of a good photo is in optimal lighting. Take a photo in daylight, because that's where your face is best visible and you get a spontaneous glow. 
2. The next step: relax. Taking a picture of yourself can be quite awkward, but you don't have to! Don't take poses that you don't feel comfortable with, but find a position that feels natural to you. Whether on the couch or during a fun activity, make sure your face is always clearly visible.
3. And finally, put on a big smile! Make sure the photo looks inviting and avoid unnaturally filtered photos. You're much more likely to get people interested in your profile if you don't choose a neutral facial expression or a filter. You are beautiful just the way you are, so bye bye filters and welcome radiant smile!

Another tip: choose at least three photos. This will give the person looking at their screen a good idea of what you look like and increase your chances of meeting someone. A good way to start a conversation and let other users get to know you better is to choose a photo of you doing an activity or hobby that you enjoy. And last but not least; make sure your photos are up to date.

2. A Good Bio

If someone likes and finds your photos interesting, they will definitely read your bio. It is therefore essential to have a description that is equivalent to your photos! You want to appear funny and attractive without sounding too boring, but how?

First of all, be yourself! Be honest, because sooner or later they will find out anyway. As for your bio, it's crucial to draw attention to your profile, so don't make it too complicated or too long or readers may lose interest. Most dating app users are looking for a funny partner, so using humor in your bio is always a winner. For example, tell us about your most embarrassing moment or funniest experience on a dating app.

It is also important that the person you are meeting with knows what you have to offer. What are your hobbies and passions? Don't hesitate to mention them in your bio. In short, emphasize what makes you different from others, avoid clichés and be honest. Your profile should be attractive, interesting in terms of content, positive, open and concise.

3. Choose Your Opening Lines Carefully

Now we move on to the most important step: the conversation. This is the first point of contact, so think carefully about what you send to make a good first impression. For example, send a nice message citing an element you've seen on that person's profile, sparking that extra bit of curiosity to swipe right on your profile.

Use good icebreakers to start the conversation. For example, if you're looking for a one-night stand, you could ask, "Do you like long or short foreplay?" If you want to get to know someone more personally, go for: "Are you shy or do you rather have a big mouth?". Or are you looking for a serious relationship? Then try this one: "The most important thing about your partner: honesty or humor?". Of course, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the question you are asking.
