I wish Hinge changed the X option to 'maybe later'

WHY can’t you?? There were some profiles where I was pretty certain the other person might not match but I was still interested to try and I asked a specific question because I was really really curious where certain photo was taken. It was at a cool looking statue park but I didn’t know what country what the park was called. so I expressed interest in their profile and also asked the question very specifically if they could let me know where this was even if they didn’t feel they were a good match. And they still didn’t have the courtesy of giving me a two word reply of the name of the park. They could’ve very easily have answered and said they are flattered by my interest but they don’t think we’re a good match. And then they could have told me the name of the park and wished me good luck. It would’ve taken them maybe 10 to 20 seconds to craft this answer. The fact that they never answered at all was hurtful. You could answer people if they are engaging with your profile in a polite way. I don’t buy the justification or rationalization that you don’t want to lead someone on by giving them basic courtesy of a response of some kind.
