The increase in dating apps is good, especially when we are talking about niche dating services that cover a certain category of people with specific interests, hobbies, and goals in life. However, here is another point to consider; the ability to use these applications.
We are not talking about the “technical” component. You can figure out modern dating apps in a couple of minutes. We are talking about how to properly meet people in principle on the Internet, how to fill out your profile with information, what type of photos to upload, how to behave with new interlocutors, and more. This is exactly what many people have difficulty handling. It looks like the Tinder developers have decided to fix it finally!
School of Swipe; the original educational platform from Tinder
School of Swipe is an educational platform that offers dating app users various tips and tricks from experts and psychologists. The service is currently available in Australia only, but there are plans to expand it to other regions in the near future. You can learn how to choose the best photos and write captivating text for your profile, how to choose the right partner based on interests and values, how to maintain a conversation and avoid monosyllabic answers, how to respect boundaries and respect the feelings of another person, how to protect your privacy information and avoid falling into the trap of scammers with School Swipe.
The School of Swipe platform covers different aspects of using Tinder:
- Training on the features of using the application, useful tips, and life hacks.
- Selecting profile photos to make you look more attractive to other users.
- Rules and recommendations for finding interesting users and interlocutors for dating.
- Description of the main functions of Tinder and the unobvious opportunities they open up.
- Tips for dating and communicating with new people.
One of the topics that the School of Swipe covers is choosing a place for a first date. The service advises on how to choose a safe and comfortable place where you can calmly chat and know each other better. It is important to note that the first date always determines whether the relationship will continue or not. Therefore, this issue must be approached with full responsibility and the most important thing is that you don’t need to rush!
Many dating experts strongly recommend going on a first date only after one video date at least. The reason is that chatting does not give you an objective picture of a person and can create false expectations. Be sure to communicate via video, after that, you can decide whether you are ready to take the communication offline.
Nonetheless, you can use online video chat for the first meeting. You don’t have to waste time filling out your profile, selecting and uploading photos, endless swipes, etc. Sometimes, it’s much easier and more convenient to use a random video chat to meet new people as quickly as possible.
Online video chat is a great alternative to traditional web dating
Modern Internet users have access to many different chatroulettes for every taste. All you have to do is make your choice:
- CooMeet — a functional video chat that offers users a very important feature; an error-free gender filter that connects men to ladies only. This is handy and saves a lot of time. Also, there is a built-in message translator for your convenience if you want to meet foreigners but don’t know the language. CooMeet also has functional mobile apps for iOS and Android besides the website, thanks to which a live video call with girl will always be at your fingertips.
- PalTalk — a video chat in which you can communicate via video or text chat with people, one-on-one and in a group. Also, you can find a community of similar interests and meet like-minded people, make new friends, or look for love. The service is available in a web version and as an application for smartphones.
- Meowchat — another popular online videochat for dating and communicating with random people. In the app, you can communicate via video, one-on-one, and talk with like-minded people in thematic chat rooms. Although this is not a unique feature, it is still very useful.
- Bazoocam — a video chat that has been functioning for many years and is still popular among users. Although there are no flexible settings for searching for interlocutors, there are online mini-games and 18+ video streaming platform. Additionally, this is also an interesting way to spend time on the Internet for many users.
We have mentioned only a small part of the popular online video chats that you should pay attention to. There are many of them and you will definitely find something interesting for yourself. The main thing is to act now!
Useful tips on how to meet people online more effectively
The above-mentioned School of Swipe platform can be very useful, especially for those new to web dating without much experience, and could make various mistakes. That’s why we want to give you a few more useful and universal recommendations that will help in web dating:
- Choose online dating platforms that suit your interests, goals, and preferences. Don’t waste your time and energy on sites that aren’t right for you by default.
- Pay more attention to your profile; talk about yourself, your interests, goals, and expectations from dating. Add high-quality photos where you smile and look natural.
- Be active and proactive in communicating with other people. Don’t be afraid to write first, ask questions, give compliments, and show interest in the other person.
- Be honest and open in communication. Don’t embellish your life, don’t invent biographical facts, and don’t try to seem like a person whom you are not.
- Remain polite and show respect to your interlocutors. Don’t use rude or obscene language, don’t ignore the other person, and don’t say anything you wouldn’t want to be addressed to you.
- Remember about safety when dating online. Do not share personal information with strangers such as your phone number, home or work address, any financial information, etc. Remember that many cybercriminals on the Internet can harm you.
We want to remind you once again; that before the first real meeting, it will be very useful to communicate via video in order to know your interlocutor better and understand their personality, true goals, and motives to determine if you have any “common ground.” Do not hurry. Hastiness in this case usually turns out to be inappropriate.
Finally, we would like to wish you the most pleasant, exciting, and promising online dating experiences. We are sure you will meet dozens of interesting interlocutors. Perhaps, among them, there could be that person with whom you will be ready to link your fate. We wish you the best online experience always!
