The 5 rules for good conversations on Bumble

This is the advice I gave to my friend when she joined Bumble. She was ready to date and that’s what matters more than applying the rules blindly!

I’ve been writing about dating and relationships for the past 2 years and most of my work was focusing on how to recover from codependency or spot trauma that can block you from having a good relationship. But this time around I had a different type of content to prepare for my friend. You see, most people need dating advice because they aren’t healed. We are almost never fully healed from wounds of our past or even our more recent history. But she was ready!

I felt I had in front of me a person who was able to be fully herself in the dating process and really benefit from the discovery elements implemented by dating apps. You see, dating apps don’t do their best work when you are unhealed. They simply can’t do that work for you. You have to do that yourself! But when you’re truly ready, technology can be of great help. I certainly know it did the trick for me. After being in a relationship happily for the past 15months, I am able to spot what helped me get the man I have in my life and advice my friend for the same type of success using the technology at hand.
