An Instagram profile consists of three components; your profile picture, username, and bio. To ensure a girl takes you more than just a random follower, you must make your profile eye-catching before you approach her to start a conversation.



Tips for Instagram Profile Photo

For a primary photo, you need something that makes you look like the perfect dating material rather than someone who is too arrogant and cool to follow. As per research, the human brain finds simple images more attractive than complex ones.


Check your physical appearance, facial expression, body language, and background to be perfect for making an impression.


  • Avoid pictures in gloomy places.
  • An outdoor picture makes a great primary photo.
  • Your big smile makes you look fun.
  • Look straight into the camera for a confident look.



Tips for Instagram Username

On social media platforms, from Instagram to Facebook and Twitter you need to use simple language to make more people like you on social media platforms, from Instagram to Facebook and Twitter. Your username must be under 30 characters with a meaningful message. Avoid random characters and weird names that no one could connect to.



Tips for Instagram Bio

The Instagram bio gives you an excellent way to provide a quick introduction. You can make it more useful by adding your work, hobbies, and things that your potential partner will find informative. Remember, you have a limited word count, so be mindful of what you write.


You can add the following:

  • A place where you live.

  • An exciting reference to your occupation.

  • List multiple hobbies to spark a conversation over shared interests.


While writing your bio, keep the woman in mind whom you wish to date and highlight qualities she may find attractive in a partner.

Making your profile public shows that you are legit and not faking being someone else. It helps others to build trust and connection to your personality.


Since an Instagram profile picture is too small to make a perception about a person, therefore, it becomes necessary to keep an account public so that whoever comes across your profile has a lot to build a clear picture of your personality.

Your first nine posts on your news feed are crucial to her decision to follow you or respond to your message. Make sure to post good stories and equally engaging posts that give a glimpse of your daily life.


Post pictures that:


  • Shows your fun personality.

  • It can make her smile like a picture with your cute dog.

  • Give a sneak peek into your social life.

  • Exhibits your hobbies, interest, and passion.


Use group photos as they show your social aspect. Make sure to add a small caption with every picture to make it look more relevant; for your pictures, use natural and real filters. Do not go too crazy over your editing. Use saturation, brightness, and lightning in your pictures to make the colors pop and to have a more focused image.


Aside from everything, all your photos and videos must look good and acceptable. One weird picture, and you can lose your potential crush running away from your profile in a minute.

Step #4: Master the Follow Technique

Step #4: Master the Follow Technique

No dates?

ROAST can help you understand WHY and HOW to fix it.

A follow feature on Instagram works just like Tinder's match feature. Making her follow you back means she's also interested in you.


A large following is a sign of your "social proof," which helps you appear to be a stronger candidate and fun person to hang out with and that she's missing out by not following you.


Once you have updated your Instagram profile, now it's time for the enjoyable part: looking for interested women on Instagram for dating.



Meeting women on Instagram

Enlist the places of your interest, and on their Instagram pages, check their women followers. Use the map feature to connect with users who uploaded pictures with a location tag.


Being interested in the same places allows you to find something to start a conversation about. Or maybe she can agree to meet you there again.


The second thing you can do is engage with the profiles you like. Go to the profile that catches your eye, and like 2-3 recent pictures on her News Feed. Follow her account. All this activity will appear on her profile, gaining her attention.


You can do the same with other accounts, and some will follow you back.

Commenting directly on her physical appearance is never effective on Instagram on any other dating app. The ideal way is to reply to her Insta stories. Research suggests that people tend to post on social media to get attention and a response.


So when you reply to her photos and videos, you are giving g her attention. However, what you say to her in DMs will depend on each situation.


For example, you can send a direct message if you have already matched on other dating apps like Tinder or Bumble.


1. Hey [NAME], we matched on Bumble, so I thought I'd say hi since I rarely check it.


2. Hey [Name]. We initially matched on Tinder, but I took a break from the app, so I thought I'd say hi here.


Send follow-up messages with questions to turn the conversation in the desired direction. Make questions relevant to her recent posts so that she can contribute to the discussion enthusiastically.
