Dating sites as we know them are going to die a quick death writes Amanda Hess:

• Dating sites currently rely on individuals answering questions about themselves and, let’s face it, lying about themselves on their profile.
• Tinder, on the other hand, is what the dating service of the future will probably look like.
• Tinder is a hook-up app that requires users to login through Facebook. This means that users get a more honest and comprehensive look at the individuals they’re interested in.
• Tinder requires users to choose each other before they can send messages to one another preventing creepy messages from being sent.
• The service automatically detects your location and only shows you those who are in your area.
