One of the most important factors that determine our happiness is our relationships with other people, whether friendly or romantic. At a time when social life is becoming increasingly distant, it is essential to develop relationships with people we truly trust. For example, one way to meet new people and find someone to connect with emotionally is through dating sites and dating apps.
Over the years, online dating has proven to be a very useful tool for bringing people together. However, with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the perfect dating site for your relationship type. Each app has its own characteristics and target audience, meaning that some are more suitable for serious, long-term relationships, while others are aimed at casual dating or more informal dating.
In this article, we’ll explain how to create a profile and explore the best dating sites available to help you choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
On any platform, the first step is create a profile. Let’s take the example of the dating site Felizes.pt.
Arouse curiosity: how to create a profile
You will need to register by creating an account on the site. You must then fill out the profile with as much relevant information as possible about yourself, such as your name, age, and even your physical characteristics (in the case of Felizes.pt, photos are not required, although they are recommended to be included).
After that, you should tell about yourself in an interesting and honest way. Indicate what your hobby is, your favorite movie or book, or what cuisine you like best.
It’s always a good idea to go for a bio that reveals your personality and also reveals an interesting fact about yourself. This way, you’ll attract profiles similar to yours and you’ll have a better chance of getting a “match” (a term that symbolizes mutual interest between two users).
Looking for the perfect match: how to find your soulmate
Once you have filled out all the fields on your profile, the next step is to search people and find the person you would like to start a conversation with. Just click on the “Search” menu and determine in the filters whether you are looking for a man or a woman, in what location, at what age and with what marital status. You can also access additional filters using the “advanced search” option. With a filtered search, finding your soulmate will be easier and more effective. Analyze the profiles that appear and, if you like, save the ones you like best to favorites so you can visit them faster later.
Show Interest: Get Engaged in the Message
Finally, go to the profile that best matches what you’re looking for and send them a sweet message that reveals your interest. You can compliment the photo, comment on the likes of another person you identify with, or simply ask how their day was. The main thing is not to be afraid to take risks and show initiative. Always remember: “no” is already guaranteed, so you have nothing to lose. Then just wait for the other person to respond. All communications occur on the platform. However, you can exchange mobile phone numbers and start communicating that way if it’s convenient for both of you.
