Bumble is giving women more ways to "make the first move" as it introduced a new feature on the dating app Tuesday.
Since 2014, Bumble is a dating app that has been women-centric, allowing women have control of their dating lives. With a nod to the company's slogan, "make the first move," women have a new way to get the conversation going.
“Opening Moves” is a new Bumble feature that gives women the opportunity to make their move without the hassle of an uncomfortable conversation. The feature allows women to choose a prompt question or create their own question that they want all of their potential suitors to answer, at which point a conversation can begin.
The feature's goal is to empower women to have more control and options in dating, Bumble wrote on its website.
“We have always believed that when you make dating better for women, you make it better for everyone. In listening to our community, many have shared their exhaustion with the current online dating experience, and for some, that includes making the first move," Bumble CEO, Lidiane Jones, said in the news release.
"We’re also hearing from women that empowerment today is not only about control but it’s also about agency," Jones continues. "And we’re excited to offer more choice in how women make the first move with our new Opening Moves feature.”
Bumble also said the feature is not solely for heterosexual couples; same-sex and non-binary couples can join in too. Either person can respond to their match's question on the feature.
