He met his glamorous girlfriend on Tinder after being named the most "right-swiped" man the dating app, so Stefan Pierre-Tomlin certainly knows a thing or two about how to find "the one" online.

The 27-year-old model from London, recently celebrated his one-year anniversary with girlfriend and "soul mate" Gemma Fowler, 25, from Dublin, after meeting her on the dating app on Valentine's Day last year.

The dating guru, who offers his expert tips to his family and friends, told The Daily Mail the best key to writing the perfect dating app profile is to come up with a catchy bio and add an extra layer of security by linking it to Instagram.

Pierre-Tomlin, who sees wedding bells in the near future for him and Fowler, reckons finding a match online is better than meeting someone in real life.

"I believe it's the future. Having everyone in one place makes it so much easier to pick your match," Pierre-Tomlin said.

The model reckons that the best way to woo "the one" on an online app is to make sure you have a catchy bio - but "not an essay".

"Mine was 'No likey, no righty', show a bit of personality to allow people to find out more," he said.

When it comes to the awkward task of meeting a match in real life, Pierre-Tomlin said that you should be clear about what you want as soon as possible.

I had the pleasure working today 🀳🏽 with the one and only! @davidbeckham lovely man and lots of love β€οΈπŸš€watch this space x ☝🏽#killinit #thelifeofspt

"When you speak with someone that interests you, it's very important to know what you want from that person so you should be transparent from the beginning."

He added: "Once your chat is going strong always leave the sentence open. Almost force the other person to speak more and ask the relevant questions.

"I was a quick mover, I would never drag a conversation on for weeks, a couple days of chat and then I would want to meet. You should be excited to meet that person so why wait?"

Pierre-Tomlin said users should also take advantage of features on online dating apps that link your profile to Instagram as an extra layer of security, and so that potential love matches can look into who you are.

How to nail your Tinder profile photo

A true special weekend for Lee and Shaunna's Wedding πŸ’πŸ‘°πŸ» Thanks for inviting us! My suite is @velsvoir Killed it again ❀️πŸ’₯#theeganwedding #killinit #couple #wedding #dublin #thelifeofspt

A post shared by 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐅𝐀𝐍-ππˆπ„π‘π‘π„ β„’ (@itsstefan) on Jul 17, 2017 at 8:37am PDT

Although the presenter is loved-up with Fowler he said that if he were single again he would return to online dating.

"Meeting someone in a club often leads to a one night stand, no chemistry and most importantly nothing in common.

"Where as, meeting someone with the same interests increases the chance of having chemistry and staying long term with that person."

Pierre-Tomlin's secret to his relationship success is by keeping their life far from boring by going to the gym together, trying out new activities and going on surprise trips away together. And he believes there is a real future for him and his glamorous girlfriend.

"I strongly believe there will be marriage on the cards," he revealed.

"As the days go on Gemma has become even closer to me and I would love a future with my best friend."

The model, who is the face of 11 Degrees menswear, also lives with his girlfriend in London, had been single for two years before meeting Fowler, and promptly deleted his Tinder profile two months after they began dating.

"I was a very happy man enjoying single life, however, I've always wanted to be settled and I found my soul mate and best friend via Tinder," he said.

The couple kept their anniversary celebrations low-key this year with a home-cooked meal and wine, but Pierre-Tomlin said he's got a surprise in store for his girlfriend.

"I have a big secret trip away as part of Valentine's Day the end of March. I always make sure there is something to look forward to."

Dublin-born Fowler has already been whisked away by Pierre-Tomlin to Marbella, Paris and a visit to her home city, with plans to travel further afield to Australia and the Maldives this year.
