Bumble works on a similar basis to Tinder. It's free,
easy to set up and simple to use, and a right swipe indicates a like. A

time limit to start chatting, so if you find your soulmate you'd better move
quickly.

Don't be put off by the name: Hinge is the newest kid

potential matches can 'like' your answers and start up a conversation. Hurrah
to the end of swiping.
