    Dating apps are absolutely awful in their current form...but the flipside to it is that they offer the chance to eliminate a lot of confusion from courtship.

    The question you kinda need to ask yourself is: aside from dating apps where is an appropriate place to ask someone out romantically?

    Work? Absolute non starter.

    Out in public? Every woman I know in my personal life hates being asked out in public, even if they're single. A lot of people consider this sexual harassment.

    At parties/social events? I guess....depending on the size/group you hang with???

    For all it's problems it is refreshing that in a dating app, if you're chatting with another human, you know at least two things:

    1. They are interested in finding someone to be more than a platonic friend.

    2. They find you attractive on a first glance.
