Answer is … not yet! Don’t click my tag, just leads to damn porn… Sorry. Naive. 😖

It is doable but one thing is, many of us don't like to mix IRL ID with digital ID so, I will definitely be the one who skip dating apps on Nostr if they came into existence.

I don't like to show real me on the internet. I don't mind if everyone knows which part of the world I live in but I wouldn't like to pinpoint my exact location.

People do all crazy shit anyway and Nostr dating will be one of them for sure.

Theoretically you could build a dating app on top of nostr. If you look at how nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 works, where you have more private interactions.

If you think about the whole identity thing, you could build up a web of trust using nostr, and it wouldn't even need to be just a nerdy nostr thing, perhaps a "normal" looking dating app that uses nostr under the hood.

that's just a bit of thinking out loud in response to your question, I don't really have good exposure to the underlying nostr tech
