The six types of mobile phone dater and how to handle them

New data from Virgin Media O2 suggests that 3 in 5 actively dating singletons use their mobile phone to find a date every week, revealing a reliance on mobiles as an essential tool of modern dating.

To help Brits utilise their mobile as a way to harness rather than harm their luck with dating experience, Married at First Sight relationship expert, Mel Schilling outlines how best to spot potential red flags or positive signs by sharing the six dating personalities based on everyday mobile habits.

Mel Schilling said: “Online dating can be a fun experience where you get to meet an array of different people and personalities. However, navigating this can be tricky. With phones being so integral to our everyday lives, our mobile habits and language can be a clear indicator of someone’s real self and dating personality - whether that’s their response speed, use of emojis and gifs, or message length. Understanding what these habits might say about your potential date will put you in good stead, giving you more confidence when digital dating.”
