Taking On Tinder: Our Top Tinder Tips

Recently single and looking for some Tinder tips?

Then you’ve come to the right place.

The world of Tinder can feel a little overwhelming when you’re new to it. However it doesn’t need to be – we’re here to simplify life with the dating app, and give you our top tips.

select photos that best represent you

Tinder is predominantly a photo-based dating app.

When your profile flashes up to another user, your photo and name are the first thing to catch their eyes, Think of it as a pack of cards – you want to be viewed as the ace.

Selecting your photographs can be a challenging one, as you want a selection of snaps that accurately represent you. You can choose up to 9 images, but there’s no pressure to pick all 9.

Make sure you present an accurate version of yourself – you’re gorgeous, so show it off! It also means that you and your date know what to really expect when you meet, paving the way for long-term love.

be honest in your bio

Writing and filling out your bio is important.

Let potential matches know what you’re about it.

If you’re looking for something specific from Tinder, perhaps a no strings hook up – be honest about it. You don’t want to lead potential matches on and send mixed messages. So it’s always a good idea to let people know what you’re using the app for.

Your bio can be as long or as short as you fancy (up to 500 characters). However it doesn’t have to be a short story of your life – you want some new topics left to discuss with your matches. So alternatively why not…

• Put a joke in, show your funny side?
• Name two truths and one lie – encourage your matches to pop up and guess?
• Pop a few of your interests in, as an ‘in’ for them to start a conversation?

make the first move

Tinder is not for those that like to wait around.

There are 57 million Tinder users across the world so you don’t want someone else to swoop in and take your ideal match.

Therefore why not be confident, and make the first move!

Comment on something interesting that’s on their profile, pay a compliment, or just put out a simple “Hello”.

What have you got to lose?

After all you matched for a reason – so why not make some magic.

facetime first

If things are going well with your new match, then you’ll want to start planning a real life meet up.

After all, you only really know a person when you get talking to them off screen, without the keyboard comfort blanket.

However, you also want to make sure that who you’ve been messaging is the real deal. The online dating world can be a strange place, and you want to ensure you’re meeting the person behind the pictures.

This is why there is no harm in suggesting a Facetime. Not only does it break the ice but it also gives you the clarity that who you’re speaking to is who they say they are.

Then you can get planning the long awaited real life date!

feeling ready to smash the dating app game?

Tinder dates vary – it could be the best date of your life, or it could be the worst.

But isn’t that the case with any date?

Approach all of your dates with an open mind.

Use Tinder to get to know some new faces, and if they don’t become lovers, they could end up good friends.

However your date turns out, there’s no harm in buying a few sex essentials just incase… we’re just saying.

hey, there’s nothing wrong with being prepared right?
