FEATURE: To initiate a new chat, you must first mutually "match" using the current Tap feature. Additionally, users can unmatch to end the ability to continue a chat for whatever reason.

PROS: This can encourage users to more fully complete their profiles, in effort to have a better opportunity to match with potential matches. I could see such a feature greatly reducing the number of blank and photo-less profiles, enhancing the quality of interactions all around.

WHY: One reason folks currently dislike using Grindr is because they end up wasting so much time and mental energy sifting through their chats, which likely include many unsolicited messages. This detracts from time they could be spending having more meaningful chats with matches that haven't been lost in the shuffle. Users may also feel badly about not responding to people they aren't interested in, or worse, having to block obnoxious users who won't stop messaging them. Blocking is the only current solution, but it is a harsh and unkind action many may prefer not use unless necessary.
