In the modern world, dating apps are one of the most popular ways to date and potentially find your forever person. Although there are many success stories, it can feel overwhelming to try to navigate dating apps. Luckily, there are several ways to find your match on these platforms.
1. Stick With Minimal Dating Apps
Many people think more is better, which is true – but not with a dating app. It’s best to stick with one or two dating apps to limit your pool and put more time and energy into the matches you make. Also, more than two dating apps are a recipe for fast discouragement.
2. Limit Time
There is such a thing as too much time on a dating app. Try to set aside a specific time a day, such as a half hour, to swipe and message. Once you hit that point, move on to something else to avoid burnout. Dating apps can be overwhelming, so it’s best to limit your time to increase stamina.
3. Take Breaks
If you are starting to feel overwhelmed, take a break from swiping and messaging. This action will give you time to think through your messages and choices and also allow you to detach from numbing swiping for a little while.
4. Limit Messaging
Although it might seem tempting to message your match quickly, try to limit the number of messages you send. Take control and know when to end the conversation. You’re not there for a pen pal, you’re there to find someone to date.
5. Get To the Point
Finally, cut straight to the point with your conversations. Try not to entertain pointless chatter and ask the things that mean the most to determine if they are an ideal match for your life.
