Flirt, and a Fun Vibe: Tips to Get it with Online Dating

May 16, 2025

Online dating has made it easier than ever for people to find romantic partners, set up dates, and have fun with casual hookups. However, it has also opened the door to a new set of challenges, forever changing the way modern romance works.

In simpler terms, online dating can be frustrating, and everyone who's ever struggled with creating a profile or finding matches knows this. But it doesn't have to be...

With our tips to get it with online dating, modern romance won't just get easier—it will also get a lot more fun!

1 - Choose the Right Dating Platform

According to several sources, the global dating app market is worth anywhere between 6.18 and 8.64 billion dollars, with multiple dating apps competing to get to the top. With so many options, it can be hard to settle for just one, but it's only a case of aligning your preferences and priorities with the features of the app.

Are you looking for a future wife? There's an app for that! Tired of the old swipe-right system? There's no need to keep on using Tinder anymore. Struggling to find casual sex opportunities? Well, you can always fuck buddies on OneNightFriend!

The point here is that, by choosing a dating website or app that already reflects what you're looking for (serious relationship, casual sex, friendship, etc.), you'll be one step closer to landing the kind of dates you want and avoiding the kind of dates you don't.

2 - Set Up the Perfect Dating Profile

The thing about online dating is that profiles don't necessarily reflect a person's qualities. You won't get very far on dating apps without the right profile, even if you're the most desirable bachelor in the block...

Men tend to be particularly bad at this, and keep on committing obvious mistakes that significantly limit their chances on dating apps. These include:

  • Creating a profile with photos that look all the same (like when you're wearing sunglasses in every single pic);
  • Not mentioning what you're looking for in a relationship;
  • Including tons of group photos (it's great that you have friends, but your dating profile should be about you).

To set up the perfect dating profile, make sure to include diverse photos where your face can be clearly seen and be honest about your relationship goals.

3 - Be Patient and Don't Settle For Less Than You Deserve

When we open any dating app, we find hundreds or even thousands of potential dates. But not all pretty men and women are simply right for us. Being impatient and setting up dates just because you can opens the door to lots of frustrating meetings and awkward situations.

So, no matter how "desperate" you are for finding some company, you should always keep the standard high and wait for the right person or persons (yes, even if you have to reject some decent dating opportunities in the meantime).

This notion is backed by studies on modern dating that state that if people reject the first 37% of potential dates, they will have a higher chance of finding the right partner. So, it's actually better to match with the right person than with 10 wrong ones.

It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. After all, every time you go on a date just because, you're wasting time that could be used for finding the man or woman you truly deserve.

4 - Imagine What It's Like to Date Yourself

Every bad date should be followed by a self-diagnosis. Self-awareness can get in the way of dating fun, but it can also be a powerful instrument for improving one's behavior on dates.

When something goes wrong, we tend to blame the other person. But what about all the things we haven't done right? Ahead of your next date, imagine what it's like to date yourself and correct all aspects of your behavior that you feel could be improved.

By putting yourself in the other person's shoes, you can see more clearly what you have been doing right and wrong in your last few days and improve in the long and short term.

Conclusion

If you're one of the countless people who find online dating to be a frustrating means to an end, maybe our tips will help turn the bore into fun. In the end, it's all a matter of not taking online dating too seriously, while also putting in the work that allows you to get the right date at the right time.
