rose send
/roʊz sɛnd/
CommonSending a rose on Hinge, a premium signal of strong interest that puts your profile at the top of someone's queue.
Because roses cost something, sending one carries more weight than a regular like. Receiving one feels more flattering. Sending one to the wrong person is a bigger miss.
