Apps - The most popular dating apps are: Tinder, Badoo, Happn, POF (PlentyOfFish), AdoteUmCara, Bumble, Once, Grindr, Kickoff, and Fresh.
Self-esteem - Make sure you're emotionally ready. If you haven't got over a breakup or if you're anxious or demotivated, your experience probably won't go so well.
Profile - Don't turn your dating profile into a CV. It shouldn't be personal marketing, it should be an honest description of who you are and what you like.
Profile picture - Picking pictures where you look happy will make your profile more attractive.
Profile description - Write a short, fun and simple description of yourself that will leave potential matches curious.
The right timing - Wait a little while before you strike up a conversation, otherwise you could seem a bit desperate.
The conversation - However, once you start chatting with someone, don't leave them waiting for too long or you they may lose interest.
First date - Of course this is all a lead-up to the actual first date, where you'll be able to finally have a real-time conversation and decide if you enjoy the other person's company.
Rejection - Many people who sign up to online dating apps stop responding or vanish for several different reasons - don't let that put you off of continuing your search.
Immediate results - You must also have patience and learn how to lower your expectations regarding the efficiency of online dating, as it can take a while to find the right person.
