You no longer have to guess what your partner’s intentions are, with Tinder’s relationship goals clearing up any confusion.
Tinder is helping take some of the guesswork out of dating with the rollout of its Relationship Goals feature. The new feature lets you set your dating intentions on your Tinder profile.
Relationship goals are coming to Tinder
Tinder announced the rollout of its Relationship Goals feature on December 14, 2022 in a Tinder newsroom post. The new profile fields take inspiration from Hinge’s Dating Intentions feature, allowing you to disclose what you’re looking for on the app: a long-term relationship, friends, or a short fling.
In the announcement, Kyle Miller, VP of Commodities at Tinder, said:
“This feature was developed in response to a shift we’ve seen among our members. Young singles, who make up the majority of Tinder, are becoming more and more intentional about who they spend their time with.”
So to help with this more intentional approach to dating, Tinder has rolled out six different intention options. These include:
- Longtime partner.
- Long term, open to the short.
- Short term, open to the long term.
- Short term fun.
- New friends.
- Still figuring it out.
According to the dating app company, it will help users build better relationships for the right reasons. The feature also comes with a weekly prompt to verify that relationship goal selections are still accurate.
The rollout of the feature starts on December 14, 2022 and should be available to all users by January 5, 2023. If you want to check if the feature is available for you, make sure you’re using the latest version of the application. . Then head to the Edit profile option on Tinder.
While Tinder has long been known as an app for hookups, the new feature lets you easily express your intentions without any awkward conversations. Hinge isn’t the only competing app to offer friendship intent, with Bumble also including a BFF (Bumble for Friends) feature.
Clearly state your goals on Tinder
If you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for or know exactly what you want, Tinder’s Relationship Goals feature now lets you clearly define your intentions. If you are a regular user of the app, try it out to see if it improves the quality of your matches.
