Essentially, this new feature aims to learn about the dates its members go on with matches met through the app. This information can then be used by Hinge to provide further recommendations that better suit what a user may be looking for in a [potential partner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romantic-chemistry-predictor). The information garnered from the 'We Met' feature is only applied when a user answers no when asked by the app if they would like to a see a particular person again. All the information garnered through this feature is confidential and seen only by Hinge, meaning your date will never know what you said about them.
