Instead, suitors came to her. Three separate men slid into her DMs in early 2023. While she had received messages on the workplace-focused social-media site before, these were different. They would disguise it, like, 'I have this company and I'm looking for someone to fill this position,'" John, a 24-year-old personal organizer in New York City, told me. While each of the men had the plausible deniability of a connection or two in common with her, she said it was immediately clear that their motives were not strictly professional — one of them worked in the oil industry, a field far removed from anything she'd ever done for a living. Someone else might have scoffed at their advances, but John was newly single at the time, and she was intrigued. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

"I'm always looking for someone who has a stable career, who is preferably well off," she said, "not to say that I'm looking for sugar daddies but someone who can take care of themselves." On LinkedIn, she figured, she could fairly assess whether a romantic prospect's employment history, education, and career aspirations lined up with the kind of partner she envisioned for herself. At the very least, she would know whether the man had a job. While the other two failed to catch her interest, John sensed chemistry with the oil-industry man and decided to see where things would go. One conversation led to another until the two had spent 1 ½ months flirting over phone calls and text messages. It was during that phase of the relationship that John posed a question on TikTok : "Why is LinkedIn low-key a good dating app?" It's hard to estimate how many of LinkedIn's 1 billion reported members are using the site to find love. The company doesn't collect or release data on the matter, and its community-policies page prohibits using the platform for romantic advances, emphasizing: "LinkedIn is a professional networking platform, not a dating site." But plenty of posts and articles suggest many LinkedIn users have long used the site for romance . And as LinkedIn use has soared in the age of remote work , using the platform to find a date has gotten more popular. But that leaves the question: Is it a good idea to mix work and love? Looking for love on LinkedIn. Dustin Kidd, a professor of sociology at Temple University who researches social media and pop culture, said that dating via LinkedIn belonged to a long tradition of "dating hacks" — using online tools designed for other purposes to snag a date. "In the aughts, this happened with Friendster and then Myspace," Kidd said, but has since spread to myriad platforms that are ostensibly romance-free. Even fitness-tracking sites such as Strava are fair game. The common thread for love-hijacked social-media sites is a single feature, Kidd said: DMs. "The design of LinkedIn helps to maintain its focus on the professional, but any platform with a direct-messaging option is likely to also be used to pursue sex and dating," he told me. The ease and relative privacy of direct messaging help explain how some people are using LinkedIn for romance, but it doesn't explain why . In an age with so many dedicated dating platforms — from giants such as Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge to niche apps including Feeld (for the unconventional), Pure (for the noncommittal), and NUiT (for the astrologically inclined) — why mix Cupid's arrow with corporate updates? Any type of social media where you can see people's pictures can turn into a dating app. And LinkedIn is even better because it's not just showing people's fake lives. One answer may be the growing number of Americans who have gotten tired of the roulettelike experience that comes with modern dating apps. In a 2023 Pew survey of US adults, nearly one-third of respondents said they had used an online dating site or app at least once. More than half of women who had used the apps reported feeling overwhelmed by the number of messages they had received in the past year, while 64% of men said they felt insecure from the lack of messages they had gotten. Though an overwhelming majority of men and women said they'd felt excited about people they connected with, an even-larger proportion of respondents said they were sometimes or often disappointed by their matches. Online, it isn't always easy to know whether the human behind an alluring profile is who and what they say they are. Even relatively innocuous virtual deceptions — such as outdated or ultraflattering photos of themselves that misrepresent how they look in person or fudged facts about their interests and accomplishments — can be disheartening. Then there are the people who fabricate or steal their entire profile, a practice known as " catfishing ," leaving anyone getting hit up by a stranger online justifiably skeptical.
