Below, discover the six steps you should use to create a foolproof plan and kiss singlehood goodbye, literally and figuratively.
Consider Your Goals
On a dating app, it's easy to mindlessly swipe until you find someone you think you're attracted to. But really, there's more substance to it. What kind of values do you want your partner to possess? Do you have a certain "type" of appearance you look for? By establishing your parameters first, you will be able to consider the best course of attraction to meet this type of person. Because we all know the options on the apps are not always what they seem.

Search for the Correct Location
So, you know what kind of person you're searching for. Think about what their interests would be. For example, if you have a thing for athletes, you'll want to hit the gym. Prefer nerds? Maybe, you join a Dungeon & Dragons group. In other words, put yourself in the shoes your ideal person and predict where they'd go for leisure. When you hit up these spots, they might just be there waiting for you.

Don't Say 'No' to Apps
It sounds like we're saying apps aren't helpful, but don't feel too confused. Apps can be a great place to go if you're not in the mood to go to a social event. There is always a chance that your soulmate is waiting for you online. That said, we'd like to think of it as another item in your toolbox, instead of putting all your eggs into the one basket.
Reach Out to Your Friends
We all admire our friends and their character. If you know they hang around good people, don't feel embarrassed to ask them if they have any single friends. After all, you and that person have something in common already, which is the mutual friend. Plus, you'll have someone who can vet for their character, too.

Be Bold
The key to being a successful dater is putting yourself out there. We know, we know. Nothing would be nicer than having the perfect significant other show up on your door step. Sadly, that's not how it works. There are billions of people around the globe, and not everyone will be the one for you. You'll have to put in the work to sift through the shuffle. But when you finally do, it will feel well worth the wait.
Don't Be Discouraged
Last year might not have been the best in the romance department. If you get through 2025 and still feel dissatisfied, don't let it discourage you. Instead, let it empower you. It means you're not willing to settle for less than you desire. And you have plenty of years ahead of you to figure it out—each day is one step closer to that moment.
