4 tips to maximize your chances of making a good impression to land a “date”

On dating apps or social networks, the profile is a bit like your business card. To maximize your chances of making a good impression, here are four tips to implement.

The first impression comes long before the first date

Take care of your profile page, by having an attractive presentation that highlights your personality: details that seem trivial, but which are not. Indeed, with a clear, well-presented profile that says a lot about you, there is a greater chance that other users will want to know you and start a conversation.

Opt for original catchphrases

To have the perfect catchphrase for your profile, there is nothing like clarity, once again. To find the right words, you have to ask yourself this question: “What feeling do I want to arouse in those who view my profile?”

Answering this question will naturally direct you towards the catchphrase that will best promote you. When users discover a profile that they identify with or that makes them smile, it’s a great start.

Start an engaging conversation

We sometimes underestimate the importance of choosing your first words carefully during a first exchange. However, according to the Hinge application, one in two people find it annoying to receive initial messages limited to a simple polite phrase. The application reveals 5 “catch phrases” which allow you to start a conversation differently:

• “If you had to choose the location of our first date?” ;
• “Instead of going for a drink, let’s…”;
• “Two truths and a lie”;
• “What we have in common”;
• “We are on the same wavelength, yes…”.

Establish deep exchanges

Once this first contact has been established and avoiding engaging in an exchange that could lack interest, Hinge recommends instead initiating deep and meaningful discussions. Focus on the answers to your catchphrase, which will encourage detailed answers and not closed answers like simple “yes” or “no”.
