   Uber reminds customers that their service is not for hook ups.   
      
   This week Uber updated their community guidelines to discourage   
   passengers from using the ride-sharing app as a hook-up   
   opportunity.   
      
   Some Uber and Lyft riders have been using the car-pooling option   
   in the respective apps as a way to meet or hook up with others.   
   But Uber is not pleased and has advised users to not flirt or   
   touch passengers.   
      
   “It’s OK to chat with other people in the car. But please don’t   
   comment on someone’s appearance or ask whether they are single,”   
   Uber’s guidelines state.   
      
   According to Recode, UberPool has become a new form of speed   
   dating and some even deem it better than using Tinder.   
      
   Last year, two passengers got engaged after they met while   
   sharing an Uber headed to the same restaurant in San Francisco,   
   Today reports.   
      
   And while this may not be the outcome for every lovesick Uber   
   user, the company wanted to reiterate some things.   
      
   “As a reminder, Uber has a no sex rule. That’s no sexual conduct   
   between drivers and riders, no matter what.”   
      
   As a matter of fact, you could even get banned from using the   
   ride-share app in your quest to hook up with someone if the   
   company learns of problematic behavior involving violence,   
   sexual misconduct, harassment, discrimination, or illegal   
   activity while using Uber, Business Insider reports.   
      
   Sure, the idea of finding romance while sharing a car may be   
   appealing to some, but it might be best to move your flirtatious   
   advances outside of Uber — or at least turn it down a notch.
