what.. he asked her first about a kiss so im guessing it was kinda planted in her head now, her running off & not asking consensually for a kiss might’ve been the turn off. overalls yalls replies are just mean

I hope the apps add filters for hookup, romance, and platonic relationships.

Why would a dating app bring people together for platonic relationships?

Bumble does it.

I wonder if they keep any data on that. Like I strongly doubt the sincerity of anyone using a dating app to meet someone of a gender they could be romantically involved with strictly for platonic friendship. I assume this is for people who are too socially akward to outright say they are looking for romance who are then nonetheless disappointed when it does not occur, and that it occasionally does occur despite having told the app it wasn't what they were looking for.

I have not used Bumble myself yet, but in researching, it seems there is an option to include or limit yourself to not only romantic partnerships, but social and business partnerships as well. Whether or not that social or business relationship blossoms into a romantic one from a platonic one is a whole 'nother branch on the proverbial tree, but it seems that some dating apps are not solely for dating apps.

I’ve met dudes on dating apps, had great dates, and then shifted into a weird place where we get along great but don’t really have a romantic vibe but it’s still sort of date-y and confusing. It happens.
