I like the concept of this app – Whim - Dating, Not Texting Review

I have been using this app for awhile( about 6 months+). I had two dates so far. Recently, the app arranged me couple dates, no one contacted me before dates (No dates), I think there are a few reasons: people don't use this app anymore; people don't take this app serious anymore; personally, I'm old fashioned, I think guys should contact girls first. I like the arrangement idea to cut all unnecessary steps before people actually meet. I think it doesn't work as it designed ideally because it's not mandatory to actually meet someone even chosen by users themselves voluntarily, which maybe approved that "free is not free/available". The database/users amount, I don't think it's enough to charge users base on current users amount, which is kind of a dilemma of developing this app. Another thing I really like about this app is the business information involved, I live in west side of DTLA, almost never go to the art district, my first date was arranged there. It's good for business promotion. BUT AGAIN, not all business ideas can survive in the real world. I experienced technical problems sometimes, but I think it's the least concern of developing this app. As much as I like it from business perspective, I don't see this app will still exist in next 12 months, 18 months maximum, unless it has fundamentally change.
