That's all about to change.
Now Tinder is allowing people in the UK to pay to promote their profile through a new feature called "Tinder Boost."
So what does that actually mean? Well, it essentially makes your profile one of the top profiles in your area for 30 minutes. Tinder claims this will get you up to 10x more profile views and significantly increase your chances of getting a match.
If you have Tinder Plus - £3.99 a month if you're under 28 and £14.99 if you're older - then you get one free Tinder Boost a week. If you want more than that, or if you don't have Tinder Plus, then you can pay a one off fee each time you want a Boost. A single boost costs £2.29, but 10 boosts can be purchased for £15.
It's not currently clear whether other Tinder users will be able to see that you've used the Tinder Boost feature but we've asked for more information.

"Still, sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day and what you need is a boost in the right direction. Tinder Boost gives you exactly that: a way to be one of the top profiles in your area for 30 minutes."
Tinder Boost is also being trialled in Australia.
