Sometimes we chat/ meet with someone and might not be looking to immediately interact with them again. But open to meet again in few weeks. As a premium feature, grindr can allow users to hide or mute profiles for a month which will remove the profile from the grid, but reshow after the hiding period is over. This is like a temporary blocking but the other person can still message me, I just don't see that person on my grid. It's like a filter except that I choose a profile to be filtered out for a month
