Looking to meet that someone special this year? You’re certainly not alone – but thanks to the ongoing social distancing measures that have been in place for the past year, in 2021, it can feel more difficult than ever. Gone are the regular social occasions like parties and large dinner parties, with most of us instead meeting only close friends in groups of six – but with dating apps having enjoyed a meteoric rise into the mainstream in recent years, all is not lost. With the likes of Tinder, Bumble and Plenty of Fish now some of the most popular ways for potential new couples to meet, many have continued dating – albeit virtually – right through lockdown, and with half of all partnerships expected to have formed via such apps by 2035, it has quite literally transformed the way we fall in love.

Of course, the concept in itself is nothing new; we have always met and got to know one another through some means of communication. First, there were face-to-face meetings, then there were printed ‘lonely hearts’ ads in the local paper – while fast forward to today, and the entire romantic process is largely managed online. When social media took just about every aspect of our social lives digital in the early 2000s, it paved the way for the new and exciting way to find love as we know it today, with some of the biggest dating apps out there quickly becoming household names and eclipsing more traditional ways to meet someone new.
