Have you ever thought to yourself, How can my life get more complicated? How can I allow myself to be stared at by my match and their friends on the way to class? How can I make my social life more incestuous? Well, Furman has the solution for you. As of November 12, 2025, Dinder, the new Furman dating app, has relieved itself on our campus, making sure you and your friends can awkwardly send screenshots of each other’s likes.

Unlike other dating apps, Dinder uses a new approach they like to coin ‘lake or break’. Unlike the average swipe-left and right system, instead, you have to actively tell the person interested in you that you don’t like a part of their profile. Under the drop-down menu, you can find options such as ‘physical appearance’, ‘major’, and even ‘weird face’. These make sure students alike can get an honest response to their advances. Insecurity? What’s that?

Another way in which Dinder puts its grubby little paws on Furman is their new ‘date tracker’. Gone are the days of privacy. When you’re on a campus the size of Furman’s, all privacy is gone when using dating apps! ‘Date Tracker’ provides a free tracking system, so you can stalk your match from the P-Den to the Playhouse. You can also share your matches’ locations with your friends! It’s like a fun game of manhunt, but with real-life stakes!

If you know someone on Dinder and are too afraid to like them, the app will automatically like them if they’re in your contacts! Were they your ex or unrequited love? Too bad! Something fun and silly to mention is how Dinder will personally send flowers and a card that reads “I LOVE YOU RED-HEADED AUSTRALIAN TENNIS BOY”.

Are you in? Because I sure am! With Dinder, Furman’s campus is taking a new step into the future. Does your best friend secretly like you? Only one way to find out!
