Dating should start with something to do.
Traditional dating apps begin with a profile. Look to Hook begins with a plan—a real activity, on a real day, at a real place.

What the table means
“Not core” means a feature is not a defining part of that service’s standard dating flow—not that no similar tool could ever be offered. Competitor offerings can change.
