Looking for Love? Bumble Tells Us How to Make a Perfect Love Match
Did you know that more than 49 million people have tried online dating? It isn’t a surprise that online dating is such a popular option for those looking for love. Especially, for busy professionals. With an estimated 20% of committed relationships starting online, it is a viable choice to help you find love. A new entry to the online dating market is Bumble.com, a dating site that is female focused and allows women to make the first move, shifting old-fashioned power dynamics and encouraging equality from the start. We reached out to Bumble.com’s in-house Sociologist, Dr. Jess Carbino, to find out how to find the perfect love match.
