Online dating mistakes to avoid Here are a few mistakes one should avoid: 1. Using the wrong photos Photos are how one can create a desirable first impression on online dating websites and apps. However, using the wrong photos is a serious mistake that needs to be avoided, no matter what. This blunder usually occurs when one uses an old photo in their profile. Additionally, when one uses group photos, it becomes very difficult for a potential match to know which of the several people is the one they are talking to. Besides this, refrain from using photos that have been intentionally or unintentionally blurred. Always use recent photos that have high resolution, which makes it easier for another person to recognize the face behind the profile.
