Blockchain can fix this! Imagine what smart-consent-contract could do. You set your rules, everybody can see it but you’re in full control and do not have the government in between. Now that’s real consent for the 21st century!

(I’m joking, please don’t take it as an actual idea and make it real, the world is already crazy enough as it is)

To take you more seriously than you wanted to be:

A big part of human courtship and flirting is plausible deniability.

Alas, that's exactly the opposite of what your (or any formal) solution would support.

Of course that would be a terrible idea. I’m poking at the absurdity of the app suggestion.
