After you match - send a GIF- GIFs are a great way to communicate with matches while showing off your personality, sense of humour and creativity.  

Don’t be shy- Be sure to include a bio in your profile. Whether you want to talk about your favourite TV show or craziest hobby, a bio provides a great way to start a conversation with your new match.

Include many photos- It’s important to show different sides of your personality with several photos.

Having a clear view of your face and eyes is important- We’ve found that people who wear glasses in photos decrease their chances of a date by 15%! And people who wear hats receive 12% fewer interest than those who do not!

Stand out and wear bright colours- Most mobile dating users wear neutral colours, so we recommend standing out from the crowd by wearing more colours. It’s also a good idea to wear something formal in at least one of your profile pictures.

Highlight your hobbies and interests- People tend to respond to pictures with animals or traveling shots.

Smile- Always smile because people who smile are considered to be kind and approachable. In fact, users who smile increase their chances of a  date by 14%.

Don’t be scared to try something new- There are so many quirky opportunities and collaborations out there and you never know what will lead to what.
