New Year, New Dating Rules: 6 Dating Habits You Need in 2020

A week (or two…) into 2020, you can still add on to your resolutions for the New Year (easier than your pledge to hit the gym every day).

Yes, THIS is the year you go public with your startup idea, take an impromptu girls trip or just casually smash patriarchy every day, NBD.

From finding love to your dream job, all you need to realise your resolutions is an app that multi-tasks as well as you do. So, let’s begin by downloading Bumble to help you find love…in all shapes and sizes, friends and even jobs.

Done? Now, let’s move forward and here’s your game plan…

No ‘hey theres’. Get creative.

'How you doin'?’ could only get Joey so far, just saying. When chatting up a match, put your best wit forward. 

Facing a creative block? Then, opt for Bumble’s conversation starters. Our fave - “Were Ross and Rachel on a break?”  is sure to break mega ice.

In the blessed New Year, the new you shall apply the ladies-first rule in asking out a cute guy. Luckily dating apps such as Bumble make the process much simpler – Swipe, match and YOU make the first move (or lose the love connection forevs). 

Not only does this lower the risk of receiving the cringe-worthy, “‘‘Helo, wanna frandship?????”’’ messages, it’s also putting full control in the hands of women!

You now have the option to say NO to sharing personal information. For instance, Bumble has an option for women to hide their first name and only show their first initial. They also have a photo verification to avoid fake profiles and catfishing.

Break your patterns!

New Year, new patterns…especially ones that do not involve falling for the same ‘type’. Let’s leave ‘falling for the same type’ to Drake, shall we, ladies? So, use the badges to show your interests on your Bumble profile and filter matches accordingly to meet someone who’s into the same things as you.
