Like, if two people get involved in a hot and passionate relationship, then they might choose the red color. If they are in a serious relationship leading to marriage, then they can choose a green color. If a relationship is simply confined to friendship, then the yellow color could be preferred. However, this is absolutely the choice of browsers. As a designer, you can always keep options open for them.

7. Option to break the ice:

When it comes to talking to someone unknown, people do hesitate. Often, after a match, both the parties hesitate to make the first move by texting first. to break the ice and make it easy, as an app developer you can put in-built text options like hello bars, advice pop-ups, wave options, and others. This often reduces the discomfort to talk first and can make your app unique.

8. Addition of points or rewards:

To make it more interesting, turn the app into a form of the game where users have options of achieving rewards or points upon achieving some goals.
