Dating in a big city can be a real challenge. Between the endless options and the constant hustle, figuring out who’s worth your time isn’t easy.

Luckily for Bumble members, the app now offers new tools like 30 Interest Badges and filtering by Interests, making it easier than ever to find people who match your vibe in Toronto.

Putting Opening Moves to work

Breaking the ice is one of the toughest parts of turning a match into something more. With Opening Moves, you can automate your first question — and even set up more than one — to get to the good conversations faster.

You can even send a photo with your Opening Move — maybe your favourite meme, a cute selfie or a pic of your pet — and see how they respond. It can help you decide who to keep chatting with.

Whether you follow one of Bumble's suggestions or write your own, an Opening Move is your way to show what you’re about, get the conversation rolling, and see if you’re both in sync.

Add Interest Badges to your profile

Having shared interests makes spending time together so much sweeter, and with Bumble's new Interest Badges, you can connect with people who share your passions. You can even filter by the up to five Interest Badges on your profile to find those connections faster.

When you already know what makes your match tick, your first date basically plans itself — live music, art class, coffee shop vibes, or something totally unique.

Make your Intentions clear

Whether you're on Bumble looking for "the one" or you want something more casual, you can find the kind of romantic connection you're after with Bumble's Intentions feature

It’s not new, but if you haven’t given it a go, it’ll change how you date. Things get a lot smoother when you’re both clear on where it’s going.

Meet new people in Toronto by using Bumble’s updated features, like Opening Moves and the new Interest Badges, to find people who match what you're looking for.

So, what's your Opening Move going to be?
