Young daters share tips and tricks to hit it off with their matches during the festive season

The Indian dating app conducted an online study for three days to understand what works and what doesn't when it comes to dating online.

 

Young daters share tips and tricks to hit it off with their matches during the festive season

Indian dating app QuackQuack did a survey ahead of Diwali where young daters shared valuable tips that lit up their connections and made sparks fly with their matches during the festive season. The participants ranged between 20 and 35, from different fields.

37% of daters said that instead of chasing a million matches that will ultimately amount to nothing, it is more fruitful to engage in meaningful conversation with fewer people who seem the most compatible. The same trick has yielded better results for more than 20% of these daters. Here are some other tips the participants shared.

Active Participation

42% of daters between the ages of 22 and 32 say listening is not enough if you want to move things forward. Listening is for beginners who are still exploring their options. For people looking for a serious relationship, active participation is a fundamental skill set they need to hone. Especially in the initial chatting phase, if a match merely listens to your side, it might be perceived as a lack of interest. An equal part of speaking is crucial for building rapport and deepening the bond between potential partners. They suggest engaging in thoughtful discussions, asking questions, and sharing personal experiences to create a sense of connection between you and your match.

Visual Communication Helps

Seeing your online match's face can add some necessary depth to the virtual interaction, explained 33% of women. The physical aspect of a romantic relationship can be slightly compensated with the visual component while making an online connection. Video calls are especially essential because they help gauge facial expressions, behavioral patterns, gestures, and such, helping people enhance the overall exchange.

Fictional Scenarios and Interactive Stories

25% of men between the ages of 25 and 35 explained how creativity plays an important role in forging a connection. They shared that engaging in interactive storytelling and fictional scenarios, like planning a trip with their match and also imagining how it is going to go or role-playing being partners in real life to see how compatible they are, encouraged emotional expression and a better understanding of each other's perspectives, interests, and values.

The Art of Virtual Gifting

46% of GenZ and Millennials on the app disclosed gifts can win a lot of hearts. Gift-giving is a tad bit different when dating online but not at all difficult, said these daters. These QuackQuack users found that sending virtual gifts such as ebooks, personalized playlists, or even arranging a movie night by renting a movie for their match created unique experiences.
