Tinder isn’t the best at reading the room or taking a hint.

On Monday, Tinder added a matchmaking feature that gives users’ friends and family members autonomy to hand-pick who they should date. The move aims to streamline the process of getting other people’s opinions and allows them to recommend potential matches within the app.

Having trouble finding the love of your life on Tinder? Don’t dig deep and work on yourself, just fork over $500 every month to the platform to find your soul mate.
