Sara Haines says ‘get swiping’

On Instagram, ‘The View’ host Sara Haines shared a video of herself as she answered the question, “Advice for online dating?”

Haines said, “So first of all, I would say present yourself the way you’re gonna show up on a date. Don’t post your New Year’s hot pic in a sequin dress ‘cause that’s not what they’re gonna see when they meet up with you.”

She continued, “Two: Get creative and have fun with your answers… Along with that, don’t overshare. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say on a first date. Dabble some interests, and then be done with it, and let time unfold the rest.”
