A 25-year-old claims to be romantic, but a dating coach says his Hinge profile doesn't reflect that. Here's what he should change.

According to Tick, it's clear that James has a great sense of style, and suggested he showcase it through clearer photos.

She said that his opening photo should be a chest-up headshot, which can give potential matches a better view of what he looks like.

"Women want to see your face clearly and a great smile will stop her from swiping past you," Tick said.

She said that James should include another suit photo, one that shows his full body, further down in his profile. This will allow him to show off his sense of style and versatility more, according to Tick.

"Plus, who doesn't look good in a suit?" she said.

Currently, James fills in most of his Hinge profile prompts with photos and videos rather than words. Tick suggested he write more, especially to show his desire to wine and dine a potential match.

Tick suggested James describe what he finds romantic, like, "I'm great at planning picnics," or "I think receiving flowers should be a regular occurrence, not just on special occasions."

He can also write about the behaviors a potential match can expect from him, according to Tick.

She suggested putting something like, "I always open doors and pull out chairs."

In addition to showing his playful side, James' response here acts as a great conversation-starter, according to Tick.

"It's a great way for women to connect with him and ask him questions about his cooking skills," she said.

Tick said that written responses should entice other singles to ask a question or comment, and James does that successfully here.

James showed off his playful side by including a screenshot of a couple he found online, to illustrate what a date with him could be like.

According to Tick, there's nothing wrong with including a silly photo in your profile. But you should write about your sense of humor too, since it can make your message more clear for those swiping.

"It's important to write your profile from the point of view of your dream match, so think about what she might like to learn about you and be sure to include it," Tick said.

Though James is casually dating and looking for fun, he's more likely to find that if he's clear about his values and dating goals, according to Tick.

"James wants a serious girlfriend, but there isn't much in his profile that indicates that desire," Tick said.

She suggested he write more about the type of woman he's looking to date.

Something like, "I'm looking for a woman who shares my values and has been here long enough that she's ready to retire," could strike a balance between explicit and humorous, Tick said.

"Sadly, I don't have many pictures of me doing fun activities because I didn't have someone to take a picture or video at the time," James told Insider.

To solve for this, Tick suggested James taking some self-timer photos using his phone and a tripod.

To get even more fun and useful photos, dating app photographer German Marin suggested planning a photoshoot with a friend. Singles can go to their favorite neighborhood spots or partake in their favorite hobbies while a friend snaps some candids, Marin told Insider.

James mentioned he was Christian at the top of his Hinge profile and brings up religion again with this prompt.

That's why Tick suggested he venture beyond Hinge with a platform like Christian Mingle, where members are more likely to share James' values.

Lastly, Tick said James should take a flexible and open-minded approach to dating, something she tells all of her clients.

"Most people end up with partners who are not what they had originally imagined," Tick said.
