January is over, we’ve made it. The darkest month of the year is behind us, and it’s now time to look forward to brighter evenings, brighter moods, and a brighter love life. Yep, it’s a new decade, so why not make this one the best to date?
But dating today can be tricky. Dating apps pretty much dictate our love lives, so if you’ve not mastered them it can be hard finding the one. The Inner Circle is the dating app that’s taken things right back to basics and designed an offline focused experience.
We spoke to the dating experts behind the scenes, to get some top tips to help you make this your year for dating success.
Do pick your app wisely. Unless you’re happy to waste hours of time aimlessly swiping, go for an app that matches based on more than just your face. The Inner Circle manually checks that each new profile, making sure photos are up to date and not weird (no dog-eared selfies here), so you can accurately match with people you’d most likely get on with.
Don’t use group pictures, blurry images, or ones with sunglasses/hats on. You’re not really helping anyone by doing this… be clear and proud of who you are.
Do chat to your matches. Otherwise, what’s the point? Be original, funny, or personal in your opening line – but don’t use a cheesy chat up line or a boring ‘hi’. First impressions are important so put your best foot forward.
Don’t pocket date. Chatting aimlessly won’t get you a partner. Meet your matches as soon as possible, in real life. The Inner Circle have this cool feature called ‘spots’ which is a member-curated list of date venues, perfect for first dates. It literally makes arranging dates super easy. You can even see if you have places in common and just meet there.
Basically, online dating can be simple if you get it right. Be yourself and be confident, meeting in real life is essential, so don’t be afraid to suggest it. The Inner Circle is the best of both worlds and makes dating super simple. They even host singles parties (which their members rave about), meaning you can meet offline from the get go.
