 <\/p>\n

The popular dating site Match.com has launched a missed connections feature on their mobile app. The feature is neat, but it is also a tad scary.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Courtesy Match<\/p><\/div>\n

Using the GPS of your phone,\u00a0users can see other members based on location.\u00a0While its a first for the site, the dating app Happn<\/a> is already based on this premise: two singles cross paths, perhaps on the subway or at a park, without ever speaking, only to connect via GPS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What ever happened to good out soul mates? Two people accidentally running into one another and falling in love…aww.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, Match is using their own hyper-location technology to match people after they cross paths in real life. The technology will allow both parties to start a conversation using\u00a0the app. The beta version has been available in San Francisco and Dallas, where more than two thirds of Match users opted in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure how long this will last…but while it may be a neat way to meet new people…it opens the door for crazy people to easily find you. Date safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n
