new to dating online
28d 16h ago by lemmy.world/u/MariaAngelaPenaM in datingI’m new to online dating, for those with experience in the field, What is the most important advice you would give a newbie.
Put in effort
Take great photos
Fill out your profile
Don't just message "Hey/Hi"
I do take great photos but I don’t know how to show you all those great photos on this platform, haha
Different app work differently but, for mine(Racoon) its here.
Also i just noticed you name, if your a woman some things work a little different. Everything I said above is still the same though.

Don't take it too seriously. These are total strangers, go in with zero expectations, and just walk away if you are not having a good time. Other people know nothing about you either.
People take it way too seriously and get way too emotionally involved with photos on a screen, and have a bad time.
Stay away from Match Group.
