Don’t shy away from showing the real you 

Don’t hesitate from being yourself. Never pretend to be someone you are not as this will not help you to connect with the right people. Be your raw, authentic, and unabashed self. 

Be witty and fun 

After matching with someone, try your best to make the conversation fun and light-hearted. Crack jokes and impress the other person with your sense of humor and wittiness. 

Keep things casual 

Don’t jump the gun with everyone you match and this may creep them out! Instead, try taking things slow and see where things go. Let things progress naturally instead of desperately trying to make things work. 

Be cautious

It is fairly easy to catfish on a dating app, so double-check a person's identity by researching about them a little or looking for the verified tag on their profile to save yourself from fake identities.
