Give it a try

Dating today looks different than before, given the current situation and all of the social media standards that are placed on us. When we start college we have a sense of liberty and some of us want to take a chance in the dating world. Bumble gives you the opportunity to branch out and meet people that are also interested in dating right now. Besides that, it also gives us the space to reach out to the person and call them or video chat with them. Right now is the perfect time to try out the online dating world and who knows what might come of it.

 Options to choose from

Before you even start swiping, you are given the task to fill out some questions just so they can give you options that seem fitting for what you like. You can also choose what information or details about yourself you want others to know before they swipe right. Some features that Bumble premium provides that everyone should use is to see everyone who swiped right on you. Sometimes you swipe left on someone because you are unsure but with premium you can see if they swiped right and start making a connection with them. Bumble premium offers many other features such as unlimited swiping, extending your matches for 24 hours and rematching with expired connections. They give you the opportunity to have a sneak peak of who the person might be by showing details provided by the person itself. That is a huge advantage since it skips the awkward phase of dry conversations, the “hey ;),” “wyd tn?,” and especially the “wanna hang?” Providing this information gives everyone the guideline to what to start a conversation with and helps everyone with the struggles on what to talk about. In the end, it’s win-win for both.

Have fun!

The soul purpose of Bumble is to have fun while swiping! You get to meet new people and make great connections with people even if they don’t turn out to be what you’re looking for in a partner. Bumble opens your doors into the dating world since it can be a little overwhelming; it takes your hand and shows you that it’s alright to try new things with new people. In the end, Bumble is a great way to connect with people, especially now in college, potentially meet a potential partner, new friends and stories to laugh and tell in the far future.
