Bumble is a dating app that works a lot like Tinder — if both people swipe right, its a match. The biggest difference is that in heterosexual pairings, women have to be the first one to send a message. Bumble also allows you to search for friends and business connections, rather than just dates.

How is Bumble different?

Bumble works a little differently. On Bumble, if youre a man searching for women, all you can do is like her profile. Its then up to the women to decide how far things go by responding or not. Even if a connection is made, men can only send a single free icebreaker and extend the connection another day.

Is Bumble better for dating?

Because matches expire, users have a better chance of someone engaging in conversation on Bumble than they do on Tinder, and people tend to feel more hopeful about finding solid matches as a result. Given these factors, its not surprising that Bumble has the reputation for being the better app for actually dating.
