It\u00a0also pulls information from your Facebook and lists\u00a0your occupation, the school you graduated from, and where you&#8217;re located.<\/p>\n<p>You have the option to choose how close or far you&#8217;d like your BFF to be located and the age range.\u00a0Bumble works as a mutual opt in by swiping right. Once you swipe right, the other party must swipe right, as well,\u00a0and then a conversation is in place. If you or the other party don&#8217;t initiate a conversation\u00a0within 24 hours, the connection is gone for good.<\/p>\n<p>Some might think this dating app is weird and others might see it as an opportunity to meet new people if they move to a new city, or even to network!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Bumble&#8217;s BFF option?
