  • Tinder Matchmaker allows your friends and family to suggest potential matches
  • Fortunately, they won’t be able to chat or send messages on your behalf

It’s a question from parents that everyone dreads: Are you dating anyone at the moment?

But the days of refusing to be questioned may be a thing of the past, thanks to Tinder’s latest features.

He launched the dating app Tinder Matchmaker, which allows your friends and family to view and suggest potential matches to you.

“For years, singles have asked their friends for help finding their next partner on Tinder,” said Melissa Hubley, Tinder’s marketing director.

“Tinder Matchmaker brings your circle of trust into your dating journey and helps you see possibilities you may be overlooking from the perspective of the people closest to you.”

Tinder has launched the Tinder Matchmaker app, which lets your friends and family view potential matches and suggest them to you

Many Tinder users already use the “friend test” to evaluate potential dates, allowing their friends to swipe left or right on profiles.

With Tinder Matchmaker, this quiz is essentially integrated within the app.

A Tinder Matchmaker session can be started directly from the profile card, or through the app settings.

Whether they have Tinder or not, you can share your unique link with up to 15 friends or family within a 24-hour period.

After following the link, the Matchmaker can either log in to Tinder, or continue as a guest.

If they choose to access the link as a guest, they will be asked to complete an age verification message, and agree to Tinder’s terms and conditions.

Matchmakers have 24 hours to browse profiles or potential dates, and swipe right if they recommend them, or left if they don’t think they’re a match (stock image)

Matchmakers have 24 hours to browse profiles or potential dates, and swipe right if they recommend them, or left if they don’t think they’re a match.

Fortunately, they won’t be able to chat or message on your behalf (so you don’t have to worry about any dad joke leaking over the net!).

Once the 24 hours are up, Tinder users will be able to review which profiles their matchmakers have liked.

While the user will still have the final decision on who they love, they now know who their friends and family support.

Tinder Matchmaker is now available in the UK and US Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and Vietnam.

It will roll out to Tinder users globally in the coming months.

How did online dating become so popular?

The first incarnation of the dating app can be traced back to 1995 when Match.com was first launched.

The website allows single individuals to upload a profile and photo and chat with people online.

The goal of the app was to allow people looking for long-term relationships to meet.

eHarmony was developed in 2000, and two years later Ashley Madison, a site dedicated to infidelity and cheating, debuted.

A large number of other dating sites with a unique target demographic were created in the next ten to fifteen years, including: OKCupid (2004), Plenty of Fish (2006), Grindr (2009), and Happn (2013).

In 2012, Tinder was launched and was the first dating platform based on “swipe” technology.

After its initial launch, its use grew and by March 2014 there were one billion matches per day worldwide.

In 2014, Tinder co-founder Whitney Wolfe Herd launched Bumble, a dating app that empowers women by allowing only females to send the first message.

The popularity of mobile dating apps like Tinder, Badoo, and more recently Bumble has been attributed to the growing number of younger users with busy schedules.

In the 1990s, there was a stigma attached to online dating, as it was seen as a desperate, last-ditch effort to find love.

This belief has been dispelled, and now about a third of marriages are between couples who met online.

A 2014 survey found that 84 percent of dating app users were using online dating services to search for a romantic relationship.

Twenty-four percent reported that they used online dating apps explicitly for sexual encounters.
