How to get super savvy about online dating

 

It used to be that someone could find love on the dance floor, and the workplace was also a popular way to meet a life partner, but the world has changed in so many ways that we couldn’t even predict. 

In the past, singles would often meet at social gatherings like parties, bars, dances, or through mutual friends. Water cooler chatter in the workplace could lead to lunch dates, after-work drinks, and more. As the nature of work has changed, with more remote work options and increased worker mobility, the opportunities to meet someone special have diminished. So, for many of us, it’s even more important to get super savvy about pn;ine 

Dating at all ages

It also used to be that dating was the sole preserve of the young, but relationships ebb and flow, and marriages for many do not last until death do us part, so it’s not unusual for people to now revisit dating in their 40s, 50s, 60’s and beyond. A generation ago, someone over age 40 who was divorced or widowed may have been expected by friends and family to stay alone versus trying to find new love. People are living longer, healthier lives and see no reason to stop enjoying companionship and intimacy just because of a number. 

Online dating widens choice

In today’s world of online connections and digital relationships, fewer people are meeting in traditional social settings. Rather than hoping to bump into someone at the local bar or dance hall, more and more people are turning to online dating apps and websites to find a meaningful match. Platforms like Tinder, Bumble, Match, and eHarmony have become mainstream for singles to expand their social circles and find compatibility.

Online dating stats

According to a 2019 survey by the Pew Research Center, 30% of American adults have used an online dating site or app, and 12% have found a committed relationship or marriage through online dating. Online dating is especially prevalent among adults aged 18-29, who account for 48% of online dating users. However, online dating is not limited to the young, as more and more people are revisiting dating in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 47% of the U.S. population (just over 117 million people) are single.

The need to be super savvy about online dating

While online dating has opened up new avenues for connecting, some bemoan the impersonal nature of swiping left or right based on a few photos and snippets of text. The process can seem more like shopping for a partner rather than an organic relationship. However, others argue that being able to pre-screen potential dates allows for more intentional matching based on shared interests, values, and goals. Sites with sophisticated algorithms promise to enhance compatibility. Of course, virtual chemistry must still be backed up with that in-real-life spark.
