Online dating apps have made finding true connections much easier than it was a decade ago. Connections on dating apps are no longer limited to romance; more than half the online daters are constantly looking for genuine friendships.
This Friendship Day, Indian dating app, QuackQuack, turned to its users to explore how they identify a friend from a potential partner while chatting with online matches. The app`s founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, commented, "When a connection does not work out romantically, it is no longer seen as a failed match. More than 30 per cent of the time, we see that the two people end up interacting as friends with no intentions of becoming anything more ever. Also, there are always some tell-tale signs that two people have more romantic chemistry than a friendly vibe. From the hours of interaction to the tone of it, sharing of details, or even the swiftness of reply, there are ways to tell which direction the relationship will take."
