Dating app interactions are becoming increasingly fast-paced.

Dating apps are encouraging users to meet up sooner after matching.

Dating culture has shifted to combat swiping fatigue, but not all online daters are on board with the newfound immediacy.

Hinge's CMO Nathan Roth said that singles are so busy matching that they're not actually connecting, in person, where it counts.
