Unmatching On Hinge, Bumble

Dating etiquette has always been ambiguous, but it’s much worse in the age of dating apps (and it’s even worse in places like the U.S. where different culture, expectations exist).

Modern dating is a mess given all these outlets to meet people, digital communication, anonymity on apps and things like rising cost of living, people moving around (lost of friends), digital nomads, wfh and regression in social skills.

One common scenario people face on dating apps is around unmatching people on dating apps. People are divided whether it’s ok to unmatch people on dating apps. Some want (demand) an answer (closure) while others think it’s not needed nor expected given the circumstances.

Below are some tips on what to expect, what etiquette is expected and how to navigate dating apps more effectively, efficiently and thoughtfully.
