Facebook Dating is a feature in the Facebook app that allows users to create a dating profile. And communicate with other Facebook users who have also selected the dating feature. The usage is quite similar to Tinder.

Since Facebook Dating uses the information and preferences on a user’s dating profile. And the activity on Facebook to suggest potential matches. Users can view and like or comment on other users’ dating profiles, and if both users show interest, they can start a conversation.

How to start using Facebook Dating?

To start using Facebook Dating, you must be at least 18 and have the Facebook app installed. Then you need to follow these steps:

My experience with Facebook Dating

Before I start describing my experience, you should know that I do not like such services for several reasons. So I have some complaints.

To begin with, it is worth highlighting that Facebook Dating is quite easy to use. This is important, considering many Facebook features are confusing and take a while to figure out. This was not the case with Facebook Dating; the interface is simple and straightforward.

The algorithm of use is very similar to Tinder. You have to swipe left to skip or right to like. This is why Facebook Dating is weak for me. Because it has limited features. Compared to some other dating apps, Facebook Dating has fewer features and customization options.

Facebook Dating is still relatively new, so there may be fewer users than in more well-known dating apps.

If you want to experiment and are comfortable with this kind of communication, Facebook Dating might not be the worst option.

Here are a few additional tips for using Facebook Dating:

• Take the time to complete your profile with accurate information, as this will help you find compatible matches.
• Use the Secret Crush feature to indicate interest in people you know on Facebook or Instagram.
• Connect your Instagram account to your Facebook Dating profile to show off more photos and share your interests.
• Use the “Interested” button to indicate interest in someone before starting a conversation.
• Be respectful and mindful of other users, and report any suspicious activity to Facebook’s support team.

Overall, Facebook Dating works like many other dating apps, focusing on helping you connect with potential matches based on shared interests and preferences. So you can always try and make a connection with someone. And if not, then look for another app.
