> Why would exchanging numbers (or Snap accounts, etc.) with someone be a goal? If you think of apps as locations, you are switching from "meeting at the bar"(dating app) to going somewhere where you both spend more time "happily" (some other app/messaging). A lot of people used to swipe like two sessions a day, but would be texting/snapchatting all day. So you are inviting that person to be more present in your days. It signals that you are willing to take one small step towards something vs. "just chatting on tinder"
