Tips for flirting online

María Pasión, is the 'love coach' of

, one of the best-known dating applications, and details some of the keys that users should not overlook:

• The profile photo

  for a dating app provides a lot of information.

  It is recommended that it be a recent photo, preferably from the last year, and that it allows you to see your features clearly.

  It is better to avoid photos with sunglasses, hats, scarves or with filters that change our features, unless they are something that accompanies us every day.

  There are photos that are more appropriate for a profile than others, what matters is that we feel that

  this photo speaks for us

  and allows us to be comfortable with it.

  It contains a lot of information about the type of person we are, and also about how we see ourselves.

  You have to think that the possibility that

  some acquaintance of ours is seeing

  profiles in this dating app is growing, so choose wisely and with a sense of taste.

• The profile information

  is what will make a person who has noticed our photo finally decide to contact us, so it is ideal that it includes details about our personality,

  tastes, hobbies and interests.

  A good tip when making this description is to include some virtues and some defect that define us, and thus we will also seem more human.

  The description is to tell more about us, so a good use of humor, language and education are welcome.

• Opt for

  positive descriptions

  , making use of some characteristic stamp that makes us special.

  It can be humor, reflection, or an invitation to listen to a music band or a movie.

  It is better that they are not very long: with

  eight lines

  we will have more than enough to tell something that captures the attention.

• Beware of fake profiles.

  These exist because not all apps have taken measures to control them.

  You have to choose websites that verify each profile.

• If we are in the

  chat area,

  it is not convenient to tell our life, work and miracles on the first afternoon.

  The best dates are the ones that allow the 'matches' to discover and enjoy themselves while getting to know each other.

  Yes, interest can be maintained through

  anecdotes

  , stories, good questions and, above all, with the art of seduction in conversation, we will be able to add fuel to the fire so that it does not go out.

• On the

  first date

  , what you want is to have a good time.

  Taking the time to get to know someone, enjoy a good evening, laugh, get to know a little more about that

  match

  that attracted us, and understand that the best first date is the one that results in a second date.

  There is no reason to run

  , nor do you have to think that the optimal thing, necessarily, is to kiss or spend the night together.

  Having a good time is a different concept for each person, so the more we resemble our match in intentions and in what we like, the more chances there will be to meet again.
