Tinder Banned Me for Sending a Google Maps Link
Key topics
I don't have any hope on getting this resolved soon, if at all. I'm pretty bummed because now I won't get to meet the cute woman. I feel bad because she'll wonder why I suddenly unmatched (from her point of view), she was eager to get to know me. Furthermore I might not be able to ever use Tinder again, all because of a shitty algorithm from a company that doesn't care at all. I even paid for Platinum before.
