1. Talk to fewer people, properly
A huge city tempts you to keep dozens of chats half-alive. Pick a small number and give them real attention. Tingle is built around this: you focus on three people at a time, and swap one out only when it isn't working.
2. Match on what draws you, not just a photo
Looks and postcode tell you little about whether two people will get on. Tingle matches you through abstract images that reflect what you're drawn to. Curious what yours say? Draw three cards free.
3. Be clear about what you want
Friendship, casual, a long relationship, someone for coffee or a party — say it early. It saves everyone time in a city where time is short.
4. Keep a second city open
Lots of Londoners split life between here and somewhere else. Tingle's free Passport lets you add a second country, so you can meet people in London and, say, Sweden at the same time.
5. Give people a second chance
Rushed "no"s are easy on a busy commute. On Tingle you can find someone you passed on, reconnect and start fresh.
6. Meet safely
First dates belong in busy public places. Tell a friend where you're going, get yourself there and back, and leave whenever you want.
