I matched with a girl and am dating her. She lives in Amsterdam while I am on the other side of the country. Why? Because I am planning on moving there so why would I try to find a relationship at my current location.

Furthermore, I've used it plenty of times before traveling to set it to a country where I will be going. I am very clear about not wanting a hookup and just meet up with locals and that has been working quite well.

Not everything is about having a hookup.
