Different dating apps have different goals. If you're just single and want to meet someone, Tinder is for you. If you want a serious BBW dating relationship, Bustr is for you. You need to be honest with yourself, and if you want to get married, don't pretend to be a casual date. It's okay to be clear about your intentions. If a faith-based relationship is important to you, if you want to get married (or remarry), if you just want to be happy, say so. If you eventually want to have children, say so - otherwise you'll have problems later.
Make sure your curvy dating profile truly represents you. Use your best photos, but make sure they look like you today, not like you 20 years ago. Be yourself and let others fall in love with you and your interests. I've also heard nightmares about someone contacting someone completely different from the photo they posted online. Your "interests" section should be very honest and truthful. You never know what fun and wacky hobby someone might share with you. I recommend not Posting any sexy or revealing photos on your profile page. Anything that shows off your personality or interests is useful, and smiling photos are always the best!
For the first three curvy dates, keep a positive attitude. Wait to share your war stories and see if you can simply play together. This month, my parents have
been married for 50 years, and they say that laughter is one of the keys to success. Most importantly, don't talk about exes, good or bad, because if you get along well, you'll have plenty of time to share.
It's a numbers game. Surfing the Internet is no substitute for going out, but you can dramatically increase your chances of success by doing a little work ahead of time. If a photo comes up and you're inclined to say "no" but your interest is just right - go for it. You only need to meet one person who can change your life forever. You never know when and where it will happen!
Don't be too busy. I often hear people say, "Don't play games," but I don't think it's harmful to have a strategy in the first place. You don't always have to respond to text messages right away, and you don't have to feel pressured to be super smart and funny by over-analyzing every word. If there is a back and forth, wait for a few hours for a response and keep the interaction fun and relaxed. Even after the first date, if he or she has time and you don't, you don't have to cancel all plans. Live your life, and if it is right, it will succeed. I really do.
