Find People On Dating Apps
Meeting new people has never been easier. With so many dating apps out there today, it's important to pick the one or two apps that will help you find the partner you're really looking for. But how do you know which ones are worth the effort? Astrology can help you there. According to astrologers, each zodiac sign has certain dating apps that are sure to lead them to success.
The type of element your zodiac sign is can say a lot about how you approach dating and the type of partner you're looking for. For instance, Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn), are very slow and steady when it comes to love. They also value stability in their lives. So the type of dating apps that would be beneficial for them are ones that are geared towards finding romance and relationship-minded singles.
- Just as dating apps have helped to solve the dilemma of finding love in the digital age, apps to make friends are working to fill another void. For those looking for a new workout buddy or kindly neighbor to get coffee with on the weekends, try Bumble BFF. Dog lovers can find companions on Pawdates.
- Every month, more than 290,000 people visit Elite Singles’ homepage, over 165,000 people create a profile, and 2,500 people find love thanks to Elite Singles. Grindr was launched in answer to Tinder so gay men could have a dating app that better meets their needs. It works in pretty much the exact same way except it’s only for.
On the other hand, Fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are very fast-moving. They're driven by passion and desire more than anything else. Unless they're really looking to settle down, they tend to lose interest quickly. So dating apps that are easy to use and provide them with a ton of different options are going to work best for them.
Dating apps are getting friendlier. More younger people see no problem swiping left or right to find friend matches rather than dates or hookup partners. Millennials and members of Generation Z. Not everyone you meet on tinder is going to be how you expect them to be. FeaturingNaomi Neo: Azman: http://www.yout.
Since every individual sign is different, here's the dating app that might help you find your next partner, based on your zodiac sign.
'As the most active of all Fire signs, you need to date folks who, like you, love action and who appreciate your take-charge attitude,' Narayana Montufar, senior astrologer at Astrology.com, tells Bustle. It's also important to find a partner who has drive, passion, and will 'charge head-on and trail blaze through life' with you. With that said, the best dating app for you is Tinder. It's not only quick and easy to use, but you can easily find someone else if the person you started talking to isn't what you're looking for.
Geminis love meeting new people. So a dating app like Plenty of Fish can present you with a ton of new people to talk to. When you're on the app, Montufar says it's important to find someone who is genuinely curious about people and the world. 'For you, a good debate is foreplay, meaning that only someone who is energetic and witty will keep you interested in the long run,' she says.
Leos are known for being bold and confident. So according to Montufar, 'Self-confidence should be your number one quality to look for when it comes to dating.' Leos are known for loving the spotlight, so Raya, the infamous celebrity dating app is really the app for you. But since it's super selective, another great option for you is Happn. You're outgoing and like being out and about. Happn can help you connect with someone who may have noticed you from a distance.
Since you're Venus-ruled, you're all about romance and finding that perfect love. 'Libras take the search for their soulmate very seriously and will leave no stone unturned,' astrologer Joanne Madeline Moore, tells Bustle. 'Apps that are based on compatibility matching and personality tests are best like eharmony.' They're also very choosy and require a bit of information about a potential partner before they’ll take the dating plunge.
Sagittarius is known for being hard to pin down. According to Moore, you can be incredibly impatient when you're looking for a new love, and will want things to happen super fast. 'They're also adrenaline junkies and travel [lovers], so Tinder suits their restless, spontaneous style,' she says. 'It’s fast and fun, based on locality and with no emotional involvement (or deeply personal details) required.' Happn is another great app for you to use. Since you're always on the go, it can help you connect with people you've passed while you were off on your worldly adventures.
You're truly one of a kind. According to Moore, Aquarius is the sign of equality, individuality, experimentation and human rights. So Bumble is the best place for you. Bumble is great for the experimental side of Aquarius, Moore says. On Bumble you can even switch to the 'BFF' mode, to help you find people you might want to be friends with. 'This really suits Aquarians, as their romantic relationships often start with a fun friendship that suddenly turn into a more serious sexual relationship,' she says.
The best part of dating apps can also be one of the most frustrating. There are new apps being made available every day, claiming to be 'the relationship app' or 'the hookup app.' Despite the marketing, a seemingly endless number of people use these apps for so many different reasons, from those who are new to a city and looking for friends to show them around, to those who are set on finding true love online. What women are looking for on dating apps varies from woman to woman, and is completely dependent on where she is in her life and what her current priorities are.
While I'm a big advocate of being honest about what you're looking for in relationships early on, people aren't always 100 percent sure of what they want. Even if a person says they're looking for more than just a hookup, that doesn't mean they're really ready to commit. Take it from these women; even if you are upfront about why you're on dating apps, not all of your matches are guaranteed to be as straightforward.

Finding someone on a dating app who is looking for the exact same thing as you are isn't always easy, but it's definitely worth it. Here's the honest truth about what six single women are really hoping to find on dating apps.

This woman is looking for a more serious relationship.
In the past, I used [dating apps] to find friends with benefits. Good sex and a bit of charisma, at the very least. Now however, I use them to try to find a more serious relationship, and even though I advertise that on my profile (and ask men looking for hookups to swipe left), I still get a ton of men who match with me and try to just have a hookup-based relationship. Several dudes in the recent months have initially acted like they, too, wanted relationships, but then revealed within weeks that they just wanted casual sex.

This woman just wants to meet someone she can have fun with.
I recently moved to New York, so I don’t have a lot of expectations just yet. The city is new and so are the people. So if and when I decide to actually commit to a dating app, I really am looking for someone to just have fun with, whether that ends up being a hookup, a short fling, or something more serious.

This woman wants to find a boyfriend.

I have profiles on Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge. What I’m looking for depends on my mood, but ... I do want a boyfriend. I’ve gone on a couple dates and actually ended up 'talking' to someone [from a dating app]. Things didn’t work out, but it was nice to bond with someone.

This woman is searching for a friend with benefits.
Find People On Dating Apps
I’m looking for something more serious than a one night stand, but less serious than a relationship, partially due to the fact that I'm leaving the area and don’t want to get attached to anyone. I haven’t been successful, because I feel that most guys [on dating apps] are looking for a one night stand. I kind of see it as a friends with benefits or no strings attached situation. It’s the best of both worlds: no constant texting, no dates, no holding hands or mushy things, but still friendship with sex.

This woman wants a serious relationship.
I got into online dating after a seven-year relationship ended. After I turned 27, I realized that I'd pretty much maxed out all my social circles — basically, I knew my friends' friends, I'm not in a workplace where I meet a lot of people my age — and that if I wanted to meet new people it'd have to be through an app. I've had multiple successful relationships with men I've met via dating apps, and it's why I'm using it again right now. I'm looking for a serious relationship. I don't advertise that, but depending on which app you use, it's pretty safe to assume that people I'm matching with are looking for the same thing. In the past I've looked for casual relationships or a serious relationship and I've found both via dating apps. Some of these relationships that I had on dating apps have now turned into friendships. In a perfect world, I wouldn't have to use dating apps and I could meet people organically, but that's just not my reality right now.

This woman is open to anything, but eventually hopes to build to a relationship.
I am on a few dating apps and generally have the outlook of being open to anything, with the goal of building to a relationship. I have talked to several people on the apps and have met with some in person (the ones I seem to gel with the most). I think especially at a younger age, people are less looking for a relationship which is understandable, but can be discouraging. I’ve just gotten back in the game because I stopped for a while. It was just getting tiring. My advice? Don’t resort to just one app. Try many.

It's easy to get dating app fatigue when you aren't totally sure what you're trying to find. Knowing what you want to get out of using a dating app is the first step to actually meeting someone whose preferences align with yours.
