In today’s current setup, meeting people you matched with through online dating apps may be a tad risky but there’s no harm in creating an online dating profile. That is, unless you’re totally in a committed relationship but opt to make one anyway (I’m not talking about you, Miguel!).

For those who are looking for love or companionship, here are some tips on creating the “perfect” online dating profile.

Be yourself

Be honest

Show recent and high-quality photos

• The more, the better
• Show, don’t tell
• Upload photos strategically
• Smile

Break the ice

Grammar check, please!

Characters, not characteristics
