It’s been rough.
Since you joined dating apps, you have had a rough go at receiving matches.
As a mature person in age, you have been left wondering whether your lack of matches has to do with your age.
It looks like loads of young people are on dating apps.
It just seems like a young person’s arena.
It’s not like you are all that tech-savvy either.
These dating apps seem to be the playground for trendy young people who are good with the internet lingo.
Online dating isn’t only for young people.
There are dating apps that are designed specifically for older people to meet and connect.
You won’t have any trouble finding dating apps of this nature.
This aside, you have to be open to the idea of online dating to succeed at it.
No, you don’t have to behave like a millennial or a teenager to get good results on dating apps.
But, you do have to be open to how accelerated communication is on dating apps.
Given that dating apps are froth with activity, being too slow in how you go about conversing with a person of interest could leave you out in the cold.
The online world is constantly shifting and moving.
This is where it does you good to take some good lessons from the young people who dominate the online hemisphere, whether it be on dating apps or social media.
Young people are quick on their fingers.
They message with speed.
People your age have caught on.
So you won’t get away with a lack of speed with them either.
Lots of them are clued in to the online hemisphere and its speed.
So, to keep up with them, you should work on that speed and on how to converse in a way that has you looking like you are up with the times.
It’s a combination of speed with substance.
When you see someone you like on a dating app, it’s not good enough to merely send an interest signal or a short generic message.
Too many people do that.
As someone older and non tech-savvy, you are probably weary of writing.
So it makes your life easier to send an interest signal or a short generic message saying, “Hello.”
This won’t cut it in the online hemisphere, not even among your age group.
You have to set yourself apart from the melee of competition that you are around.
Send a proper message, but make it interesting.
Ask your target an open-ended question around a topic they wrote about in their bio.
A topic they are passionate about is best.
This increases the likelihood of them responding to you.
Once they do, keep asking the right questions with good follow-ups, and you will soon have a date with the person.
That’s it.
Your age doesn’t impede you from having success on dating apps as long as you are open to adapting.
There is a world of dating opportunities for you in the online hemisphere.
But to be successful at it, you have to make adjustments to what you are used to when courting someone.
Combining speed with substance is how you win.
