Tinder recently introduced a new feature on its platform to help users show their intentions for being on the dating app. Relationship Goals have rolled out in the US, but they'll be available globally by January 5.

Engadget noted that the feature responds to something its users are already looking for on the app. Since the start of 2021, the company says profile mentions of "plus one" have increased by 45 percent. But our question is would you want to take a stranger to a loved one's wedding?
