Why Isn't Facebook Dating Working For You?

Facebook Dating is one of the more recent additions to the dating app world. If you're in the mood to look through potential love matches, it's definitely worth a shot. But don't worry if Facebook Dating isn't working for you — there could be a simple solution.
If you can't find the Facebook Dating option anywhere on your screen, it's probably because you're not using the Facebook app, or you're under the age of 18. Obviously, if you're under the age of 18, there's not much you can do about it. However, if you are 18 or older, all you need to do is download the Facebook app to access Facebook Dating. 
You'll need to sign up for Facebook Dating because it's a separate profile, but once you do, you should be good to go. If you're still having issues, make sure you're using the most recent version of the app. Go to your phone's Settings menu and look for an update.
Check your network connection if you're still having problems after that. Sometimes bad Wi-Fi is to blame, and other times it's a problem with Facebook's servers, in which case you'll have to wait for Facebook to fix the problem. Once it's back up and running, make sure your notifications are turned on so you don't miss any messages 

More Info About Facebook Dating

Again, to everyone's relief, your dating profile is separate from your regular Facebook profile. So, despite the fact that it is linked to your main account, your dating activities are never broadcast to your Facebook timeline. Facebook Dating, on the other hand, makes use of your network. 
Your dating profile isn't limited to the people you know on the site. Rather, your "suggested" profiles (people Facebook thinks you might want to contact) will be based on your Facebook interests, preferences, and other activities. 
While we're at it, the Facebook Dating settings for who can see your information may pique your interest as well. First, Facebook Dating is an opt-in network, which means you only become a member if you actively choose to; if you do not want to join Facebook Dating, Facebook will not create any sort of dating profile to connect to your regular profile on your behalf. 
Another cool feature of Facebook Dating is that you can choose whether your Facebook friends' friends can be suggested as matches or if you want to keep your dating world separate from your regular profile world. 
So, even if you use Facebook Dating, you can be confident that your boss will never see your Dating profile, unless you specifically request it. The same can be said for your nosy family members. That's a huge relief.
