Now, a dating app called "Hinge" is testing a feature that will make a serial ghosters put up or shut up.
The feature is called 'Your turn limits, and the concept is very simple.
If you have eight or more people waiting for a response, you can't start a new connection unless you reply to them, or you can officially choose to "end" the conversation with them.
In other words, put on your big girl/ boy pants and tell them you are not interested instead of ghosting them and leaving them hanging.
The concept is appealing. According to the Hinge researchers, 44% of daters cite a lack of responsiveness as a top dating challenge.
