    Maybe the Tinder like category of apps (which this seems to fall under) should rather be called something like “hook-up apps”? Or am I being old-fashioned for not thinking this can be called “dating”?

      Tinder has this reputation of being for hooking up, but if you get on there, it’s 90% suburban wine moms looking for husbands, sex workers advertising their OnlyFans or soliciting clients. At least as a guy, Tinder is not the place to go if you want a casual hookup, at all.

          Hm, I would call it dating app. It is like any other form of organised meetings for single people (I guess, never been to one). Real relations come out of it (I know such couples), as well as one night stands (been there). I don’t know definition of word hook up, but I think it mainly relates to one night stands.
