How to create an effective dating profile

We all get a bit stuck when it comes to putting ourselves in the limelight for others to see so how do you create a profile that is purely you? Take some time out and reflect on who you are, and what you want out of a dating platform, this will help you complete your profile. To articulate your profile we have also provided a collection of questions and options for you to pick from, being as clear as day will lead to fewer disappointments from your end and your matches.

We recommend:
  • Complete every single point in your profile provided on Tumse’s platform. Ensure it’s fully completed
  • Write a biography about yourself, a paragraph describing you.
  • Put at least 3 to 4 photographs of yourself, one closeup and one full length, we recommend you avoid selfies. We find that completed profiles with picture are more likely to get matched than those who leave theirs incomplete
  • Be transparent with your personality, be authentic, funny, quirky and maybe a little weird? Mention this on your profile
  • Be straightforward about what you're after in a relationship. If your after serious relation, make this your mission and let your matches know
  • Write or have a picture of yourself that can start a conversation. This is a great way to grab someone’s attention.

Survival guide to Dating online

Dating online can be daunting and overwhelming, especially if you have been single for a while or just out of a long term relationship. You have made the decision to sign up, now let’s get you started

How to keep fun and stress free? We suggest you try the following:
  • Keep it minimal, don’t swipe right on practically everyone, your list will only get bigger and will be difficult to keep up with, this can be overwhelming
  • Take your time, choose wisely and only meet those you clicked with via messaging
  • Video call your match before meeting so you're comfortable being face to face
  • Use Tumse’s messaging platform as your main form of communication. We suggest not sharing your number in the first meeting.
  • Be mindful that not everyone is out for a long term relationship, although Tumse cannot filter this for you, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to pursue someone short term or long term. Make it clear on your Profile what your after, this itself is a filter to those who want something different
