Endless swiping leading to a few matches, then less matches you decide to have a meaningful conversation with and eventually one or two people you meet in person. These first dates tend to be forced and judgmental. You have very little information on the person you are about to meet and each of you is trying to force the initial date. In the end it is unlikely to be 2 people who truly click. User retention is at an all-time low and studies have showed less people are meeting in real person from these app than ever.

We can hang out time to time. Drayton then "got quiet" before saying "OK" and exiting the car, Barney said.
He then began digging in his pockets before he allegedly lunged at her, she said. Barney claims Drayton told her over and over again, "I'm gonna kill you. Barney said she went into "survivor mode," before clicking the button to release her seat belt and opening the driver's side door.
Drayton then allegedly took one hand off of her neck in an attempt to close the door, but Barney said she "threw" herself outside of the car. Drayton then allegedly hopped outside of the car on the passenger side, but Barney said before Drayton could get to her, three factory workers approached her, asking if she was OK. The workers then chased Drayton off after he kept "charging toward" her, Barney said.
Drayton's last words to her were, "I'm gonna kill you," she alleged. Police then arrived on the scene and saw that Barney had swelling on her neck, she said.
She says she refused medical attention, telling officers she just wanted to get to her son at his day care but let them photograph her injuries and write a report. After picking up her son, police escorted Barney home so she could pick up some belongings and drive to a friend's house -- a location that Drayton didn't know about, she said. Barney said she still has a mark on her throat from where Drayton allegedly dug his thumb into her. Barney claims every day after that, Drayton would call her, vacillating between apologizing and allegedly threatening her in voicemails.
Police arrested and jailed Drayton days after he allegedly assaulted Barney, she said. She didn't know that he had been released from jail in New York until last week when the NYPD announced that he'd been arrested on different charges in California and was a suspect in the murder of a nurse in Queens, New York.
Barney says no one at the police department or district attorney's office reached out to let her know Drayton had been released. She then became scared for her the safety of her son, whom Drayton had spent a fair amount of time around, she said. Barney's son would even call Drayton "Dada" sometimes, she said. Drayton, who is from New Haven, Connecticut, was arrested in Los Angeles on July 24 for allegedly sexually assaulting and trying to kill a woman there, NYPD officials announced after the arrest.
He was apprehended in North Hollywood while allegedly strangling and sexually assaulting a year-old woman whom he refused to let leave after a date, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Drayton had been wanted in New York as a suspect in the murder of a nurse, who was found dead in her home in early July, the NYPD said.
The "common denominator in these cases -- one being a murder and one being a rape -- is dating websites," NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said last week. In California, Drayton was charged with attempted murder, forcible rape, sexual penetration by foreign object and false imprisonment, Los Angeles prosecutors said. Since in police custody, Drayton has claimed to have murdered up to seven women nationwide -- all of whom he said he met on social media, police sources told ABC News.
Drayton has claimed that three of the murders took place in New York, the police sources said, although no evidence has emerged to validate Drayton's claims. Dating app murder suspect seemed like a 'dream guy' at first, ex-girlfriend says.
