Unless you're in a committed relationship, it's not cheating. Swiping isn't cheating if both parties have decided to date exclusively; it's more like keeping your choices open. If you get turned off by someone after just one date, you can easily stop seeing them this way. The only time scrolling through Tinder is actually cheating is if you start communicating with someone else while still talking to others. That's called multitasking and it's bad for work-work relationships as well as friendships. If you do this a lot, it's clear that you and your partner/friend aren't ready for a long-term commitment yet so don't worry about being cheated on. Just be sure to be honest with all of your connections about what you're looking for. Scrolling through Tinder is different from meeting up with people outside of the app. For example, if you meet someone in real life and then talk on the phone with them every day, that's a problem. You shouldn't be doing that with anyone except your partner or spouse. Tinder is a great tool for finding matches with people who are around the same level as you. It's not meant for dating professionals or those looking to connect with someone special. Use common sense and remember that everyone has a past that could come back to haunt them.
