Abstract
Online dating uses social media and other media tools to affect and play a role in an individual’s life. We are living in a digital age where it is very easy to connect with others with the help of technology. Online dating apps specifically Tinder can help or hurt a single individual’s chance of finding a significant other through the impressions they manage. Impression management dictates how online dating has affected the way people communicate, what they communicate about themselves to others, and how. Tinder can be used as a powerful platform to manage impressions with an attempt to form a relationship, whether it be long-term or fleeting. This paper will explore impression management, specifically within the dating app, Tinder.
