  1. 1
    Try different apps to get quality matches. According to celebrity dating coach Damona Hoffman, it’s important to ask yourself if you like the matches you’re getting and the people you’re seeing when using a dating app. She says not to feel as if you have to stick to one dating app and to try a few to see which ones work best for you.[9]
  2. 2
    Choose a clear profile picture that reflects your personality. While you want to post an attractive profile pic, it should also reveal something about you. Dating coach Chantal Heide suggests picking a photo that shows you doing something you love. This way, she explains, you’re more likely to attract someone who shares that interest.[10]
  3. 3
    Set time limits on dating apps to prevent doomscrolling. Let’s be honest: swiping through dating profiles can be overwhelming, and it’s normal to feel discouraged. That’s why Hoffman recommends setting a schedule and time limit for using a dating app. She says this can prevent endless scrolling and help you take breaks from the app so you can return with a fresh perspective and more focus on what you’re looking for.[11]
