Our mobile app is expected to release on March 8, 2014.”

  I guess I would say Tinder, but for one reason in particular. They did what I always wanted to do, but quicker  – they proved college students would use dating apps. The problem with Tinder, however, is that the stigma has now evolved into hookup dating. That works for some people, but for most, it doesn’t. Even the people that want to hookup don’t blatantly express that intention. As a result nobody trusts anybody else and the whole system falls apart.” ^[9]Global Dating Insights
