You'll find no sleazy pickup lines or

dirty pics while using this app, just cool girls looking to form lasting friendships.

expected to expand pretty soon!

Bumble is another social app that follows along the same vein as Tinder. It uses location services and a "swipe left or right" method to find new people, but it

also gives the women using the app most of the power when it comes to making connections. While you can definitely make romantic connections through Bumble, is also a great

place to make friends. 

The Bumble app was specifically created to be a respectful, chat-heavy app, so much so that your "matches" will disappear if you don't message them within 24

hours. 

Bumble has a way of encouraging you to be outgoing and charming without any of the pressure of Tinder, which makes it the perfect place to make new friends.
