This new app, which calls itself the “Instagram of dating,” allows you to create something called a “dater card” via your Facebook profile. You can then browse other dater cards, and when you see one that intrigues you, hit “Let’s Date” and see what happens. Ideally you make a connection.

This cool app has fast become the number one rated dating app in the Apple app store. Why? Because it helps eliminate any awkwardness usually associated with online dating. Tinder uses Facebook to find potential matches based on location, mutual friends and interests. “Like” a profile and if the person “likes” you back, you can use the app to chat and get to know each other.
Skout
