Subject : Do you agree with the statement : “dating has come isolated from the rest of social life”.

Online dating has changed the way humans find and court potential partners. Tinder has changed the way people meet another.

Before technology changed our lives completely, most people found their potential dates through social circles or work acquaintances. Dating apps have erected walls between the search for potential partners and the normal community routines. People now look for a date on dating apps, where looking for a casual date is the point. Gone are the days where people go on a date only after knowing each other better. Also, the challenges like loneliness, boredom, or disappointment of being single or looking for someone, haven't gone away with the easy options of finding a partner as offered by dating apps.

In my opinion, online apps like Tinders facilitates interactions between people who might never have crossed paths otherwise. With Tinders it is easier to meet some people. Especially when you are shy. When you surf on tinder, you use your smartphone and you are for away from the person you’re talking to you, you are hinding behind your screen. I would say that that your screen protects you.

And, as far as I am concerned, with Tinder You can interact with a person before dating her and it is a good thing.

But, from another point of view, I think that people don’t try to find love in real life and they only use such apps to do it. As far I’m concerned dating used to be more romantic. With Tinder you feels protect and you can lie about you are. You can pretend to be someone else. You can be rude.

In fact, I really think that tinder has change the way to get in touch. But after the first virtuals exchanges, when you have your first physical dating, it is the same as before. You have to be fall in love.

I strongly believe that tinder has changed the process of entering into a relationship. It increases the opportunity to meet someone but not the opportunities to fall in love and the physical meeting remains almost the same. We have to adapt our social life both with online apps and above all to continue to go out with our friends.
