Dating apps often leave users in the dark when their expressions of interest, like Super Likes, go unanswered. This lack of feedback can lead to frustration, as people invest emotional energy without knowing if their gesture was even seen. A system that notifies users when someone they've Super Liked rejects their profile could offer clarity and improve satisfaction with the app.

How the Idea Works

One way to address this issue would be to introduce a notification that informs users when a profile they've Super Liked swipes left (rejects them). For instance:

• User A Super Likes User B.
• User B swipes left on User A's profile.
• User A gets a notification: "Someone you Super Liked wasn’t a match this time," optionally paired with encouraging language to soften the message.

To balance emotional sensitivity, this feature could be made opt-in through app settings. The notification would remain anonymous—no details about who rejected the user would be shared—to maintain privacy.

Why This Could Benefit Dating Apps

This approach aligns with multiple stakeholders' interests:

• Users gain transparency, reducing uncertainty about their interactions.
• App developers could see higher engagement, as users might Super Like more often if they know they'll receive feedback.
• Premium subscribers could get this as an added perk, increasing the value of paid tiers.

Since dating apps like Tinder and Bumble already track swipes and Super Likes, implementing this system could be technically straightforward. It also offers a potential differentiator in a competitive market.

Execution Possibilities

Starting with an MVP could involve testing the feature with a small segment of users on a single platform like Tinder. If feedback is positive, the feature could expand to other dating apps. Making it an opt-in setting from the beginning would allow users to control whether they receive these notifications, and A/B testing could measure its impact on engagement.

By providing closure without compromising privacy, this feature could enhance user experience while maintaining the app’s appeal. The key would be to balance feedback with positive reinforcement, ensuring users stay motivated to keep swiping.
