Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OKCupid, and all the others - so many decisions and so little time! Irina and Michelle walk you through how to choose the best dating app for YOU.

Plus, what should you look out for in other people's profiles when swiping? What does a guy mean when he says he wants someone "sweet" or who has "no baggage"? Does stating in your profile that you want "no hookups" work in keeping away the more casually minded? Come hear from the Dating Professors how to get what you really want!
