Getting no match on Tinder? These 10 hacks will surely get you right-swiped! (2024)

Every new year starts with many new resolutions that people set up to meet their goals and live a desirable life. At the beginning of the year, the dating scene is also quite hot and buzzing and single people across the globe kick-started their year with hopes to find love.

After all, the second month of the new year itself is a month of romance, love and affection as Valentine’s Day arrives on February 14.

But what if you haven’t been having any luck on dating platforms? If you are someone who hasn’t had a match on Tinder, an online dating app which was launched in 2012, or keeps swiping right to people with no reciprocation and a dry inbox, then we are here to help.

For all the singles out there trying to find a match this new year, Tinder has revealed 10 top tips for success on the platform which are bound to get you right-swiped! Check it out.

Set Your Relationship Goals!
To make it easier than ever for daters to put their best foot forward on the first big date as they enter the new year, Tinder recently rolled out Relationship Goals, a new profile feature that lets members signal what they’re looking for.

Whether they’re down for new friends or on the platform for a casual meet-up, or want to cuff it, members on Tinder now have better control over who they connect with by having more insight into a potential match's intentions.

Having A Bio Will Get You Better Matches
Finish that bio! According to Tinder, profiles with bios attract more matches. So avoid being immediately beige flagged by including a quick and witty statement that shows off the best of you, while also leaving them wanting more.

Or just keep it simple and sweet. Speak your mind, without revealing everything so that you have something left to discuss on your date.

Here’s a tip: Try to stay away from the basic line -“Here for a good time, not a long time.” Trust us, it does not help your chances of getting a match.

In Search Of …
Nobody, and we mean it … nobody really has the time to waste, especially after two years of uncertainty and lockdowns. 2023 is all about honesty, certainties and making dreams come true, so make sure to select between 1-3 lifestyle tags to ensure you’re setting yourself up to make authentic connections with people who match your vibe.

Joining The Dots
A lot of times, similarities bring people together. As per Tinder, adding your school or job title in your profile can increase your chances of getting a match on the dating platform.

You never know if you might just bump into someone from your good old school days or someone from your old or current job, so having your basic information in place could rekindle old bonds or start new ones.

Here’s a tip: ‘School of Hard Knocks’ or ‘Works At CEO’ may seem attractive to you, but resist the temptation. Your potential matches will thank you.

WYA?
Don’t leave potential matches guessing — set your location to meet people nearby, especially if a LDR isn’t something you’re into. And while we’re on the subject, we know that some of you consider Bandra to Juhu or GK to Vasant Kunj long distance, so make sure to keep your radius as per your distance preference.

And if you are planning a trip or wish to keep your dating life private from your friends from the neighbourhood, then expand your horizons with Tinder’s Passport feature to meet a cutie in New York City.

Picture-Perfect!
On dating platforms, the first thing people notice is the pictures. Photographs are a great way to show who you are, what you’re into and get the convo started. According to Tinder, four is the perfect number of photos to have in your lineup. Also, make sure your first pic gives a clear view of your gorgeous face — that’s how you reel them in.

Here’s a tip: Give your profile some edge by connecting your IG, so new pics will automatically upload as you post them on your grid – work smarter, not harder.

Your Interests Are Hot
Common interests bring people together. Your interests are what make you unique, so lead with them to show your most authentic, real self and, in turn, match with people who are more likely to have the same energy as you.

Unverified Profiles Are A Red Flag
Nobody likes a profile that seems shady or fishy. Even if you have all the good pictures in place with an interesting description, it will still not be enough for many people on Tinder if your profile isn’t verified. After all, nobody likes getting catfished or pranked on a dating site.

Music Is The 6th Love Language
It’s no secret that music compatibility is one of the crucial things of bonding which can solidify a relationship. So make sure you connect with people who are on your wavelength by adding your favourite song through the Spotify anthem.

Here’s a tip: According to Tinder, 40% of members between the ages of 18-25 have their anthem on their profile and experienced nearly a 10% increase in matches.

Get Swiping
The more active you are on Tinder, the more you'll get shown and be seen by other members. There’s no adrenaline rush quite like matching and immediately starting a convo with someone who may or may not be your new crush or next boyfriend or girlfriend, so don’t be afraid to be the first one to text. Chances are better that you’ll get a message back in less than 30 minutes!
