Dating app behaviours to avoid
Protect your heart and time – read on for tips on staying safe and sane in the digital dating world.
Dating apps have made meeting new people easier, but they’ve also introduced new behaviors that can make modern romance feel tricky. Some red flags are obvious, while others are subtle.
Whether you’re looking for love or just exploring, knowing what to watch out for can save you time, energy, and heartbreak.
One Love suggests that if someone doesn’t ask you out within 72 hours of connecting, they may be wasting your time. They also note that avoiding or deflecting when you suggest meeting indicates a lack of interest.
Verywell Mind cautions against behaviors like ghosting, breadcrumbing, and love bombing. Ghosting is abruptly cutting off communication. Breadcrumbing involves giving attention without commitment. Love bombing is overwhelming someone with affection and promises to gain trust quickly. While seemingly flattering, it can be a manipulative tactic for control, potentially leading to emotional manipulation or disappointment.
BuzzFeed lists other concerning behaviors, including someone asking for nudes, regardless of how long you’ve been talking. They also advise caution with profiles that only feature group photos and lack individual pictures.
