Me personally, I have never used a dating app but I know sooo many people who have. People from all ages use dating apps like Match.com, Tinder, Bumble and etc. The reasons people use them range, but for the most part user’s end goal is to eventually meet up with their person(s) of interest. With the stay at home order going on, it led me to think about how dating apps have been affected and what are people doing instead of meeting face to face. In an article written by Cameron Costa on the CNBC website, he talks about how singles are meeting up on dating apps during the pandemic. In the article he says that video and audio dates have risen and that the users on some dating apps has increased. Even platforms that are typically used for video meetings like Zoom are being used as a way to date online. This seems to be what the world’s new normal is going to look like for a while in the dating scene. Do you think now is a good time to focus on things like your dating life? How long do you think you could do this for?
