TINDER
While this may be a mobile dating app it is a version of online dating, just in your pocket! Tinder has the fun concept of swiping a photo to either to the right if you like them or to the left to move on to the next. If they swipe right too it’s a match! Once you’ve been matched you can start communicating. This free app is based on the visual attraction that leads to a personality attraction if you both like each other enough to get to know one another. It’s like meeting in a bar, but without the drunken haze and smell of late night perfume or aftershave. You see each other across the room, both smile and strike up a conversation. The rest is history. While this real life chance meeting app is currently only available on your mobile phone its website does have a blog for dating tips and states that Tinder Online is Coming Soon (although an exact estimated date is not provided).
