Many things can cause any adult to feel stressed and anxious. This can be a job interview, a competition where the stakes are high, and even when one is about to perform or speak in front of an audience. But for most people, dating is one activity that can instantly change our moods, even the most confident people in the room.
How each generation approach dating is different from one another. Before, men are expected to make the first moves. Many consider dating your friend’s ex to be impolite. It is also considered bad manners to speak to anyone without being introduced first. Even the way we date has drastically changed.

Before, dates were quite more meaningful. When a couple is on the”getting-to-know”stage, they opt to go for long walks, watch a movie in the cinema, or dine at a fancy restaurant. Men had to visit women in their homes and introduce themselves to their date’s loved ones. But thanks to technology, many changes occurred.
According to a book by Jodi O’Brien, the meaning of dating changed. Before, it is all about finding the right partner. Now, it is more about exposing yourself to a pool of potential partners. Most people these days go on dates to have fun. This can be the very reason why many go to multiple dates and use technology to find a date.
Nowadays, we use different technology to meet and get to know other people. Some dating sites are extremely popular these days. One can sign up on both free and paid dating sites as well as dating apps to create a profile and find their match.
A recent online dating survey showed many interesting facts about online dating how Americans feel about online dating. Among the participants, 30% of adults already used a dating site. 57% of those who used online dating have a positive experience in online dating platforms. But then, younger women find that some people in such sites tainted their online dating experience.

Dating in time of the COVID-19 crisis
Because of the pandemic and the social distancing orders, Netflix and chill, dinner dates and other forms of physical dates became tricky. But thanks to technology, one can still continue dating even during the current health crisis. Aside from online messaging, video calls, and dating apps, many are now taking advantage of what we call elite dating services.
Before, matchmaking services are not that popular. This is since most people think such services are reserved for the rich who have no time to look for their own dates. But since the pandemic, one needs to be more creative when it comes to finding compatible dates. Such services are made more affordable and available to virtually all adults these days.
To find the best match for you, dating sites and matchmakers use AI to find your best match based on many criteria. This includes your likes and dislikes, age, gender, geographic locations, socioeconomic stratums, complementary interests, and traits, etc. They use many relationship aptitudes to create possible matches, making date searching easier for us.
Thanks to our current technology, one can find and meet potential dates safely and easily. One finds it easier to approach and find their next date through dating apps, dating sites, and elite dating services. One can choose other activities to get to know their date better and see if they are a good match or not. While technology may never replace physical and intimate dating, it is one way to cope since social distancing and stay-at-home orders are still in effect during the pandemic.
