Before COVID-19, dating apps were widely popular \u2013 now they\u2019re playing an even bigger role. Since more people are trying to social distance, dating apps aren\u2019t just used to find a match but to screen them too.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean for you? It means your dating profile is more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure your profile is honest and inviting, here are some tips:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Don\u2019t skip any section<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re serious about dating, be serious about your profile. Don\u2019t leave anything out. If you skip sections it gives the appearance of being lazy, plus you\u2019re giving up a chance to tell potential matches more about yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Be honest<\/h3>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like long walks on the beach, don\u2019t put it on your profile. This might sound like obvious, but people tend to create a profile that they others want to read rather than creating one that\u2019s honest.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Use a current photo<\/h3>\n<p>No one likes to meet up for coffee and find that you look nothing like your profile picture. There are people who use photos that are 10 years old, and while you might be younger, thinner, and sporting more hair \u2013 it\u2019s not who you are now.<\/p>\n<h3>4. You can talk about your kids<\/h3>\n<p>We know there\u2019s an unwritten rule that says you\u2019re not supposed to talk about your kids for fear of scaring people away. But, again, the best profile pages are honest. If you have kids, say so. It\u2019s okay to mention how old they are and what activities you do together too.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Don\u2019t bash dating<\/h3>\n<p>Your profile shouldn\u2019t include sentences like, \u201cI don\u2019t really like dating, but I want to meet someone\u201d or \u201cDating apps suck, here\u2019s hoping this one is better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dating world is online.
