Much like dating apps, users on Bumble BFF can create profiles intended to attract people with like-minded interests and values.
And before you scoff at this: I know that the entire process might seem a bit too much like submitting a resumé. It might even just be scary to put yourself out there while knowing that other people in your community can see your profile.
But you have to remember two things. First, if anyone sees your profile, that means they are already on the app and looking for friends too. So there is no shame!
Second, this “resumé” of sorts can be a total time-saver. If you are a busy adult, you probably don’t want to waste time grabbing coffee or having dinner with someone who you know nothing about and who might not really work out in the long “friendship” run.
So, by being accurate on your own profile– and taking the time to read other people’s– you have a much higher chance of connecting with someone to who you can really relate.
Plus, breaking the ice online is ten times easier than in person, and once you get those conversations flowing, you can easily go into an in-person hangout with loads to talk about.
What To Remember When Trying To Make Friends
Now that we have covered a few different ways to find friends, we should also go over some crucial details to remember when navigating your friendship search.
Primarily, try not to be too picky. Yes, with all of the options we just covered, this might sound inevitable.
But, even on your Facebook interest group or on Bumble BFF, you can reach out to people who do not meet all of your criteria.
For instance, don’t discount someone if they are a slightly different age, if they have children, or are in a different line of work.
