Tinder Trivia & Getting Ghosted

Devyn Simone, Tinder’s Resident Relationship Expert, joins Damona in celebration of Valentine’s Day to test Damona’s online dating knowledge in a Tinder Trivia showdown! Whether you’re feeling the love or dodging Cupid’s arrow this year, we’ve got something for you. Then in a special Dear Damona and Dear Devyn, our questions this week are:

• My matches want to skip getting to know each other and get straight to the date. How do I deal with this?
• I keep getting ghosted. Am I coming on too strong?

You can find Tinder in the App Store or the Google Play Store, and you can find Devyn on Instagram @DevynSimone
