"  If you&amp;#039;ve ever been swiping listlessly on Tinder, half-hoping that Ryan Gosling would magically show up in your feed, then you&amp;#039;re in luck \u2014 this could be a reality very soon. Okay, we can&amp;#039;t make any promises about Ryan, but the dating/hook-up app is introducing a celebrity verification program (similar to those blue check marks you see on Twitter), guaranteeing that the picture of the hot famous person you just swiped actually belongs to that hot famous person. While it might seem as if public verification would be the last thing a celeb is looking for in pursuits of the heart, the reasoning behind the upgrade actually makes a lot of sense. Tinder CEO Sean Rad explained to The Hollywood Reporter that when famous people are on Tinder, prospective hook-ups take one look at their photos and assume the profiles are fake (obviously). Also, since a Facebook account is a requirement for joining the app, the new verification program will allow said high-profile Tinder users to modify their Facebook names, since many celebs with Facebook profiles use fake names for the sake of privacy. So what does this mean for us? Well, like those lucky few who encountered famous faces on Chatroulette, you might be surprised by a single-and-ready-to-mingle celeb. Our advice? Swipe right. Then, hope for the best \u2014 or really, just hope for this: em&amp;amp;gt;Related: How to Take Your Tinder Game to the Next Level, Straight From the App&amp;#039;s VP Photo credit: Tinder Via ELLE "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
