Online dating mistakes that may ruin your relationship

5 MOST COMMON ONLINE DATING MISTAKES

If your online dating profile has not been getting much attention, or your dates are not turning out as good as expected—there are chances you’re making some mistakes that you are not even aware of! Wondering what these are? Read on...

2/6

NEGLECTING YOUR BIO

Your bio is your introduction and those who skip writing it are reducing their probability of being swiped right. Mentioning your hobbies, zodiac sign, passion, what you are looking for, et al, make others with similar interest curious about you, and curiosity is always a great starter.

3/6

POST 'NORMAL' PHOTOGRAPHS

People generally post their edited photographs where they look no less than a movie star. But such photographs set unrealistic expectations, and turn out to be a bummer for the person who meets you.

4/6

BE CLEAR WITH YOUR INTENTIONS

Online may not be the perfect medium for all to seek true love, nor it is a place only for hook ups. So, before taking the matter ahead, come clean about what exactly you are looking for and set the right expectation level.

5/6

MOVE OVER TEXTING

Texting for long can make things monotonous. Once you are sure that the person is interesting enough, share your number or plan to catch up. This will let you both test the waters and take things to next level.

6/6

THINK BEFORE DIVULGING PERSONAL INFORMATION

This one is pretty obvious. One cannot ignore the fact that many dating apps and sites have fake profiles. Until you have met the person, it’s wise not to trust anyone with your personal information including your address, credit card details, workplace information etc.
