There is plenty of starfish walking on the beach but where are they when you try to find them? Well, technology has definitely made dating easier. Now, you no longer have to wait in a club for the right guy to ask you out. Popular dating apps are literally a swipe away.
Finding the perfect match isn’t easy but using popular dating apps surely helps. A quick run-through of their bio and you’ll know how the person is. People on dating apps offer everything from hookups to long-term relationships. You can check these apps out and find your soulmate going through someone profiles.
I have seen people getting married and have kids with people who they met on dating apps. There many success stories to take away. And, what is the harm in knowing a few people before you settle down? The more people you know, the more you understand what exactly you want. And, knowing exactly what you want makes it easier for you to look for the right person.
Below are a few one of the popular dating apps options to kick start your dating life right away.
1. Tinder
You cannot talk about popular dating apps if your tongue doesn’t help to say Tinder. Tinder is the OG of dating apps, where you upload a bunch of pictures of yourself on your profile, come up with an interesting bio and that’s it. You’re now officially on the internet dating pool. You’ll be recommended to the single people around your location and if they like you they can swipe right and vice-versa.
2. Bumble
So, Bumble doesn’t the only market to people who are interested in dating, they even cater to people looking for a friend and business. Talking about only the dating aspect of this app. Here women take control. When two people mutually connect, it’s on the woman if she wants to continue this or not. App gives you 24 hours before the match disappears, which in my opinion is a great idea.
3. Happn
Ever wondered who was the guy I locked my eyes with, in the metro? Well, Happn might make it happen. Happn app allows you to connect with people who cross your path every day. App provides you with the location and exact time when you crossed each other’s path. You can scroll through the people you’ve crossed path with and start a conversation. You can also check-out other people on the app but for that, you have to pay the mentioned price on the app.
4. Grindr
Grindr app has a targeted audience who are gay and bisexual men. It is a basic and simple app which allows you to meet with like-minded men. You have to set-up a profile where you share a profile picture, your interests, age, and tribe (the type of men you’re looking for). If a person likes you, they can approach you and vice-versa.
5. OkCupid
OkCupid tells you the percentage of how well you can get along with someone. The app keeps a track of the “Flavors” that enables you to tell the flavors you like in the person you’re looking for. For example, traveller, reader, beards and many more. According to these flavors, OkCupid calculates the percentage of your compatibility. The paid version of the app allows you to add more flavors which enlarge your dating pool.
6. Facebook Dating
After trying out a few test run in different countries, Facebook Dating officially launched in the U.S in 2018. Facebook Dating promotes more long-term relationships than hook-ups. To look for a connection, Facebook added a secret crush feature in the Facebook app itself.
Here, you can add a maximum of 9 secret crushes from your Facebook and Instagram. People will not get notified if you added them in your secret crush, they only get to know it if they added you back. With upcoming features, you can add stories on your Facebook Dating profile. And, very soon Facebook Dating will be available in 19 countries.
Online dating can be a little harsh on some of us, as you’re totally on the internet mercy. It has also given a push to the hook-up culture and it harder for the people who are looking for old school love. Not that everyone on the dating app is just looking for hook-ups. You can find all kinds of people online.
