Below, you’ll find 2015’s best dating tips to help you find love in 2016.

Take advantage of opportunities to showcase that your profile is authentic.
Start using the site as much as possible to improve your matches.
Create a descriptive profile that steers clear of clichés, like “I’m down to earth” and uses solid examples that highlight your personality, like “I love spaghetti and hiking with my dog Rufus.”
If you have 1 day:
Upload a variety of photos, including a full body shot.
