While chatting and messaging can be fun, don’t lose sight of why you’re on a dating app, which is to meet someone you like. You need to find the time to schedule and actually go on a date. I recommend setting up the date within a week of sending or receiving the first message. After three or four exchanges, it’s time to ask for their phone number to call and hear their voice or set up a time to meet in person. If the geography is in sync, try to meet during the same or following week because connecting while the spark is still hot really matters. Another tip I want to offer is to remember to appear as smart online as you really are offline. Watch out for typos or confusing acronyms before you push the send button. A Plenty of Fish survey of 2,000 U.S. singles over 18 revealed that 58% of singles say bad grammar is a bigger turnoff than bad sex. With all of these tips in your toolkit, you’ll be armed and ready to start chatting and filling your date card.
