So many broken assumptions there, not sure if it's the reporting or the research... * Good relationships are not purely all positive tone conversations. IIRC it was Gottman who figured out there needs to something like a 1:3 ratio of hard:easy conversation to keep a relationship both functional and good feeling * People are already excessively flakey in the dating market, they don't need an app to give them another reason to flake from person to person just because the first interaction wasnt "amazing" the reality is there are very few "amazing" people out there, and most of them are taken. If you're single beyond early 20s you likely need to meet someone who grows on you across at least a few dates. In the book "how to not die alone" by logan ury (director of dating science at hinge) she notes that people regularly discard perfectly good people just because "the spark" was missing. In reality we should be focusing on having a 2nd date unless it's unsafe or otherwise infeasible.
