Find your people

The more you’re in close contact with like-minded people, the greater your chance of connection. It’s called the proximity principle – and that’s what Love Island’s designed to do.

Some people may scoff and raise eyebrows at how realistic it can be to find genuine love in such a short space of time but it’s actually very plausible that many couples leave the villa with a bona fide partner. Take-away tip: If you want to date, get your mindset in the right place. Do you want a relationship or fling? Love Island contestants have a set goal: to find love. You need to find people with the same goal as you.
