Dating Mode, as stated before is mainly focused on connecting users that are looking to pursue a romantic relationship. Each mode asks questions more specific to it (i.e., Dating Mode will ask more questions pertaining to your past experiences with relationships, your love languages, and so on). Your answers will be logged and journaled for you to come back to later, and also for you to check for any replies to them.

Friend Mode is similar to Dating Mode. The goal is to find and make connections to potential friends and people with similar interests. To find such people, interaction is key. You can respond to people's answers to the question cards with your own opinion or feedback. Once you do so and the person replies back, you can chat with this person until you are prompted to add them as a friend. This is to ensure you are both actually establishing a connection rather than just adding each other on the fly.
