Tips to Make the Most of the Surge :

• Update Your Profile: Fresh photos, and a sprinkle of your irresistible personality can make all the difference. We know you’re fabulous—now let everyone else see it.

• Freshen up your bio: A little bio refresh never hurt anybody! Swap out that old, overused one-liner and give people something exciting to latch onto. Show off your particular brand of charm, wit, and humor in your profile because trust, a clever caption or cheeky one-liner can go a long way. Make them smile before you even match!

• Be Proactive: I'm all for chivalry, and if that truly floats your boat, you do you babe. But I say: why wait?! Send out that date request, engage with new members, and take control of your love life. No harm in a little initiative, right?

• IRL Events : Keep an eye out for all of our incredible IRL events happening across the country, where you’ll finally get the chance to meet your fellow Fromies face-to-face. And trust me, they are SO much fun.⚡ Whether you’re looking to make new connections, spark up some flirty banter, or dive headfirst into the dating pool, our events are the perfect place to do it. So mark your calendars and get ready for nights full of fun, laughter, and the kind of chemistry you can only find in person🥂

• Take a Leap of Faith: Try something new! Whether it's matching with someone outside your usual type or accepting a spontaneous date request, embrace the unexpected. Who knows? That next adventure might just lead to your perfect match…
