Online Dating Strategies for Polyamory
Dr Riki Thompson, Communications Professor, University of Washington
Finding meaningful connections online can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating polyamory, different relationship structures, and the challenge of communicating clearly with potential matches. In this talk, Dr. Riki Thompson will share practical strategies for approaching online dating with more intention, confidence, and success. Drawing from her research and past presentations on digital dating, she will explore how people present themselves on dating platforms, how to write profiles that attract aligned partners, and how to communicate relationship preferences in ways that are both honest and compelling.
This session will also examine the social dynamics of dating apps: how messaging norms shape first impressions, why certain conversations stall out, and how to move from app chats to real-life chemistry more effectively. Whether you are new to polyamorous dating or looking to improve your results after years on the apps, Dr. Thompson will offer thoughtful, research-informed guidance to help you date more strategically while staying authentic to who you are and what you want.
