Christy Albright, head of marketing at Swoon -- the first app designed for women by women -- shares six top tips to help you find your dream guy
Thanks to modern technology, it’s now easier than ever to search for a date through your smartphone with the swipe of a finger. But how do you go from searching for, to snagging, the guy of your dreams?
From how to analyze his profile picture, to the best way to send that first introductory message, you'll be surprised at how simple -- and fun -- it is to connect with young, professional, like-minded singles nearby.
The good guys are out there. Have fun, be yourself, be open to love, and you will be able to quickly find a man that you, your family and friends will 'swoon' over.
1. HIS PHOTOS CAN TELL YOU MORE THAN YOU THINK
As we all know, photos don’t tell the full story, but they do give us a little peek into someone’s personality.
While initial attraction is key, don’t be too quick to pass on a potential match. Take a look at what they’re doing in their photos. If a photo makes you laugh, take a chance and say 'Yes'.
On the other hand, if there is an endless display of shirtless shots, it's probably best to move on.
2. PICK A PROFILE PICTURE THAT ENCAPSULATES YOU
As for your photos, make sure you’re showing off your best you. Smile, laugh, be silly, and post a shot of you doing a fun activity.
Use photos that will be conversation starters. Pro tip: Stay away from group shots. You’re the center of attention here, not your friends.
3. LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS
Need a little nudge? Coming soon, Swoon will be the only app that allows you to text a guy’s profile to your female friends.
So, it's easy to get a quick thumbs-up from your most trusted confidantes when you’re not sure or need a little encouragement.
Swoon is a simply designed dating app made by women for women looking for serious dating interactions instead of meaningless flings, but who have neither the time nor the inclination to fill out long dating profiles
4. WALLFLOWERS NEED NOT APPLY
Most importantly, be bold. It's 2013, so don’t wait for him to reach out to you. If you see someone who catches your eye, don't be shy. Confidence is always in style and a turn-on for most men.
5. NAIL THAT INTRODUCTION MESSAGE
Keep your initial correspondence short, sweet, playful and witty -- you’re not looking for a pen pal. Let’s be honest, does it really matter if the last book they read was War and Peace? The best part of fresh beginnings is learning about each other.
6. TWO DATES PER DAY? EASY!
Not to state the obvious, but time is of the essence here, ladies! Nothing will replace the chemistry we feel in person, so schedule a meet-up soon to see if sparks fly.
Why not schedule one or two dates a day? Meet someone for gelato or cheese tasting, then, schedule a date later in the day at the dog park, or for a walk through the outdoor market for some seasonal treats.
Have fun, think outside the box and do something interactive. Simply put, the more dates, the more chances for love!

More than one date per day? Sorry, but if I had a date with a guy and found out he is meeting someone else later that would be it - sounds a bit shallow. The least you can do is at least dedicate the person a the day, even if it would be just a coffee for one hour. A bit factory dating "maximising" your chnaces. And a bit desperate as well.
