Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your new Facebook Dating profile and begin your journey toward meaningful connection.
Step 1: Use the Official Facebook App
Before anything else, make sure you’re using the official Facebook app. Facebook Dating does not work on Facebook Lite, web browsers, or desktop. It’s only available on the full version of the mobile app.
What to do:
Go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and search for “Facebook.” Download or update the full version. Log in using your existing account details.
Step 2: Update Your App
To access all the latest features, including Facebook Dating, your app must be up to date.
What to do:
Open your app store, search for Facebook, and tap “Update” if it appears. After updating, close and reopen the app.
Step 3: Locate the Dating Feature
Once inside the app, you need to find the Dating feature.
What to do:
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the top or bottom corner of the app. Scroll down the list. Look for the word Dating with a heart icon. Tap it to begin.
If it’s not there, type “Dating” in the Facebook search bar to find it directly.
Step 4: Tap "Get Started"
Once you enter the Dating section, Facebook will show you a welcome screen. It will briefly explain how the feature works and what to expect.
What to do:
Tap “Get Started” to begin setting up your profile. Facebook will guide you through each step.
Step 5: Set Up Basic Information
You’ll be asked to enter basic details such as:
Your gender
Who you’re interested in
Your location
Your height (optional)
Your job, education, or religious views (optional)
Be honest. The goal is to attract someone who appreciates the real you.
Step 6: Add Your Photos
Facebook allows you to upload up to 12 photos to your Dating profile. Use clear, recent pictures that show your personality. Smile. Avoid group photos. Show different sides of your life—hobbies, outings, and everyday looks.
Tip: Use a photo that shows your face clearly as your main profile picture.
Step 7: Answer Profile Prompts
To make your profile stand out, Facebook includes short prompt questions like:
“I’m most grateful for…”
“The best way to win me over is…”
“My perfect day looks like…”
Answer a few. It gives potential matches a feel for who you are beyond your photos.
Step 8: Choose Your Dating Preferences
Facebook will ask you to set preferences like:
Age range
Distance (how far away matches can live)
Height range (optional)
Languages spoken
Set these based on what you’re comfortable with. You can always change them later.
Step 9: Confirm and Go Live
Once all sections are filled, review your profile. Make sure everything is correct and represents you honestly.
What to do:
Tap “Confirm” or “Finish” to publish your profile. Facebook will now begin showing you potential matches based on your preferences and location.
Step 10: Start Browsing and Matching
You can now browse profiles. If you like someone, tap the heart. If not, tap the X. If someone you liked also likes you back, you become a match, and you can start chatting instantly.
Final Thoughts
Creating a Facebook Dating profile is a smooth and easy process when you follow the right steps. Just be yourself, take your time, and choose photos and words that reflect who you are. A sincere profile attracts genuine people—and that’s the first step to finding something real.
