Now, you can select a tile of what type of relationship you're looking for, and you can see singles in your area who are seeking the same. Here are the tiles you can choose from:

In order to enter the Serious Dater tile, users must have a bio and at least four photos and set their relationship goals to one of the long-term partner options, Tinder announced in its press release. Tinder predicts this will be a top tile; in a recent survey of active daters, 41 percent were looking for marriage material, 39 percent for the "long game," and 27 percent for an "intentionship." (The survey of 4,000 18-30 year-old active daters in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia was conducted last fall).
In December, Tinder CMO Melissa Hobley said in the app's Year in Swipe announcement, "Singles are embracing intentionality in their dating lives — being upfront about what they want and refusing to settle."
