Bumble Video Chat

Bumble Video Chat became available in June 2019 and offers virtual dating right from the chat window at any time. Participants must have already matched or expressed mutual interest, but from there, you simply use the video function to begin the conversation and/or in response to a message. I've come up against a bit of resistance when suggesting a video chat in this arena, garnering responses like, "Perhaps later, I'm about to go surfing," and this winner, "Maybe we slip into some virtual reality suits and see where that takes us." I have had one successful video chat on Bumble, though it waned as we discussed the venues we'd visit when we could go out in public again, and ended with half promises to meet in-person eventually.
