It may be 2019 but you still have that same old 2018 profile. It was created out of confusion and maybe even frustration but hey, new year, new profile. If you want to know how to make your profile stand out, don’t worry, we got you covered.

Firstly, when it comes to appearance, try to stay away from pictures that are super blurry. That’s a huge issue. The person swiping should be able to see you clearly. If you wouldn’t post it to Instagram, then why would you post it on your dating profile?

Second, avoid ALL your pictures being with friends or family. This profile is about YOU! This isn’t a profile about your friends and certainly not your family.  Post some cool solo shots and watch your matches increase!

Lastly, why not spice up your bio with a witty phrase or comment? I think we all get sick of this height/age monotony. Try something creative or funny, add a joke or a phrase that means a lot to you. Your bio is your chance to show people who you are, don’t take it for granted!

Make sure your profile is able to start a conversation, let it be funny, interesting, and, hopefully, get you a date!

I don’t know about you, but if I’m meeting someone for the first time, I’d like to meet up somewhere in public just in case. How do I know this person I’ve only messaged a bit isn’t a catfish and/or an axe-murderer? Ya just don’t know.

           *Disclaimer: I don’t think he’s neither an axe-murderer nor a catfish. But you get it lol*

You know what’s a solution to both of those problems? Foobee.

Foobee! We’re a new social app trying to bring people together. The app allows you to swipe and meet up with others based on mutual cravings (food, drinks, and activities) that you can list on your profile. And with our “specials” tab, you can find local businesses' latest and greatest deals.

Say that you and your match are both craving coffee. Well, a new cafe just opened up and they’re using Foobee to promote their grand opening sale! They’ve got half-priced pastries today through Sunday.

You, your match, coffee, muffins, yum, yay, boom.

Easy right? It’s a public place you two can go to, and something that you both are craving. Meeting people made simpler. Do what you love.

Ghosting: Your classic, basic ghosting. This is where it all began. You find yourself texting someone you’re interested in and then next thing you know they disappear. No texts. No calls. Nothing. It’s as if they never were.

Slow Fade: This isn’t your typical ghosting where they drop off the face of the Earth. Less texting, doesn’t initiate, seems uninterested. The person slowly phases themselves out of your life. 

Zombie-ing: Zombie-ing is what it sounds like. After ghosting someone, a person will come back into your life and try to start things up again. They acknowledge their absence and hope to reignite the spark.

Submarining: This is similar to zombie-ing except for one factor. This person will ghost you and then pop back up acting like nothing happened. No admittance for ghosting you.

Haunting: Haunting happens when a person ghosts, but then continues to be active on your social media, liking pictures, or tweets, without actually reaching out to you.

Breadcrumbing: Quite similar to haunting, breadcrumbing is when a person isn’t super interested in you but continues to lead you on. They leave little tiny bits to keep you hanging on. Liking your posts but never really texting you.

Passive ghosting: This type of ghosting doesn’t seem like ghosting at all. The person still texts you, but the response is lacking. You get one-word answers or very vague responses. It seems like they’re not interested and yet they still text back.    

Benching: The person still seems to have an interest in you, but they haven’t really committed. You’re basically on the sidelines watching and waiting for your time to shine.

1. Take the stairs

Trust me, I’m always breathing heavy even when it’s just one flight, but I’ll soon be just like Rocky, right?

2. Park further away

This is probably one of the worst things in the world, but it’s okay because I believe in you.

3. Go for walks

It’s a lot more fun than it sounds. You can discover new places and see new things.

4. Pace while on the phone

Have you been put on hold for longer than you thought was legal? Take advantage and pace around the house while you wait.

5. Use Foobee

Didn’t see this one coming? Foobee gives you the opportunity to turn being more active into an adventure. Go out there and have a blast!

1.) Don’t play loose and fast with your business cards.

There’s always that one person who is aggressively throwing around their business card to every person they meet. Instead, after having a conversation ask for their card first and then hand them yours.

2.) Don’t lead with “What do you do?”

Rather than going straight into this obvious question, delve into something deeper to leave a lasting impression. Ask about the person themselves and try to find commonalities.

3.) Give first without expecting anything in return.

A sincere gesture without looking for something in return is a sure-fire way to gain a person’s interest.

4.) Ask “why should they care?”

The only way to engage people in conversation about your business or self is to show them how you would be of value to them. Such as “I help people to…

5.) Listen more than talk

The only way to truly learn about another person is to allow them to speak their mind. With this, you can better connect.
