1. What is Bumble?
Bumble is a dating app you can use on your phone. People use Bumble to meet other single people to date.
Bumble is one of the most popular apps of its kind, right up there with Tinder.
We’ve previously reviewed how well the Bumble app works for men here.
2. What Do You Need to Know to Date on Bumble?
The basics of dating on Bumble:
Once you’ve signed up, Bumble works by swiping on profiles (left for “not interested,” right for “like”).
When two people swipe right on each other on Bumble, they match. That means they’re able to start messaging each other inside the Bumble app.
However, if you’re heterosexual on Bumble, the woman must send the first message to the man. Men cannot reach out to women first.

Having a great Bumble profile depends upon having great pictures that show you in a variety of situations.
Each of your Bumble pictures should look their best as a long vertical rectangle.

4. Tips for Bumble Chatting
To stimulate conversation, end each Bumble message with a specific question.
“How are you?” or “What’s up?” don’t count as specific questions. Instead, try something like, “So how do you like working at X?”
Once you’ve had some back and forth, transition to a date with, “Hey, would you be down to grab coffee/lunch/a drink sometime?”
5. Tips for Your First Bumble Date
Coffee dates make perfect inexpensive first Bumble dates.
Coffee dates are great because, in a worst-case scenario, you can say you have to be somewhere and cut out after only about 30 minutes or so. And in a best-case scenario, you can end up talking for hours.
