The Vibes are Never Off with the New Vibes Feature by Once
Lucky for you, Once thought of a simple, yet genius (if we may say so ourselves) way to filter out the candidates and make sure you’ll only look through profiles of those who match your vibes.
What is the Vibes tool?
Vibes functionality is a recent addition to our tools that help you make the right romantic choice. At any point of using Once, click on the ‘Vibes’ button and select up to five different vibes that you want your perfect match to have.
We’ve made sure to include a wide range of vibes, including but not limited to:
- Mindful
- Knowledgeable
- Creative
- Foodie
- Adventurous
- Book lover
- Beach bum
- Religious
- Reserved
We’ve purposefully limited the selected vibes by the maximum of five per person, to make pairing with other users more accurate and efficient. So choose wisely!
Once you’re all set with vibes, scroll through the matches, and start connecting with the guys and girls that stroke your fancy.
Should you care about the vibes that someone gives off?
You probably want to match with someone who likes and appreciates the same things that are important to you, right? You can be looking for a guy in finance, 6.5, trust fund, and blue eyes, but there are thousands that match the description! And many of them will bore you to death. By adding vibes and specifying, for example, that you want them to be a wine lover or a romantic, you’re boosting your chances of ending up with the right person.
At Once, we don’t believe in rushing love, but at the same time, we are all super busy, and if we can avoid wasting time on people who are definitely not for us, then why not do it?
Breaking the ice with new matches using the Vibes tool
Starting a brand new conversation in the dating chat is not for the weak! Even though we are literally texting from the comfort of our long distance from the match, doing it is scary and makes us sweaty and anxious.
It is extremely exciting though, and every new conversation can be the start of a beautiful romance. We all know that first impressions matter, so how do you navigate the first few texts?
- Start with a standard hello. Don’t be a weirdo by launching a chat with a question right off the bat.
- Point out the vibes you’re matched with. If you both selected ‘Cuddling & Movie’, ask them about the comfort movie they usually watch when they feel anxious or tired.
- A good way to kickstart a conversation would be to ask them why they prioritize these Vibes over others. Feel free to make fun of Vibes you find odd, such as, maybe, Sexting.
- Last but not least, think of the topics you’d like someone else to chat with you about. Remember, they matched vibes-wise with you, so you guys have a lot in common. There’s no need to play pretend. Just be yourself and share what’s important to you!
Our final tip: don’t over do it. Yes, you want to make a good first impression, but your life doesn’t depend on it. Breath in, breath out, and click send.
