After so many dates with someone, you should delete Tinder

That we nowadays find more dates online after swiping left and right instead of in that bar brings new dangers with it.

For example, you might delete Tinder too late when you've been dating the same person for a while. And then a friend of your new love suddenly sees your face pop up on the app. Or on Happn. ‘Active two hours ago’. Ouch. Good luck explaining that. But yes, if you delete the app too quickly, that's not good either. Your date might think it's all getting too serious too fast and then your new flame runs away.

Experts say that once you've been with the same person for a month, so at least four or five dates... then it's okay. But it varies by situation. What is more important than the number of dates is whether you both see a future together. Or you think: yes, I want to go out to dinner with this person in 2021, nice. Then that app is pretty pointless at this moment, right? Then you might as well delete it if you feel that way. If you're still unsure, well, just keep browsing. A little market exploration can never hurt.

If you're still looking for a nice lover, here are some practical Tinder tips:

1. It's best to swipe at 9 PM in the evening.
2. On Mondays and Tuesdays, you have a better chance of a match.
3. If you smile in your first photo, you have 141% more chance of a date.
4. Most Tinder users swipe for 35 minutes a day.
5. On average, Tinder users log in 11 times a day.
6. 71% of couples who met through an app end up living together and getting married.
7. Worldwide, there are about 1.6 trillion swipes per day. You are not alone, then.
8. But... 42% of Tinder users are already in a relationship.

And if things really go horribly wrong after you've dutifully deleted that app: don't panic. You can just reinstall apps again, you know. That's how technology works.
