My experience with dating app shifted completely once I paid attention to the hit rate.

Three things that changed dating app for me:

  • leave a solid month before deciding anything about dating app
  • meet somewhere public and busy the first time specifically for dating app
  • fill the profile out properly, not half way specifically for dating app
  • run one platform properly instead of five badly on the dating app side

Adjust as needed — dating app is not identical for everyone.
