No recommendations on apps, sorry. I haven't looked since my husband and I closed our accounts on Chemistry years ago.

Put the details about favorite animals on your profile! What's your favorite dinosaur? Don't overwhelm your profile - you're just putting a conversation starter out there, not a Wikipedia page. Maybe talk about working with clay or what your favorite non-fiction subject is. 

Really, the goal with your profile is to spark a bit of interest and give something to talk about. Look for similar things on profiles when you reach out and reference specifics. If someone says she really likes history, maybe kick off the conversation asking about her favorite period and why. 

It really was lovely. I met my best friend that day.

Very good tips, I didn't use these before, will now.

Thank you!
