Dating apps are everywhere. Well, mostly on your phone technically, but references to dating apps and online dating, ads for dating apps and online dating, friends who met their beloved partners online telling you that you just have to try whatever app they used… those are everywhere. Whether you’re new to dating online, just returning …

It seems like every single app you download now needs your phone number. I mean, that’s very flattering but I actually already have several apps on the go… Okay, that’s not what the apps need your phone number for. No one from Tinder HQ is going to call and ask you out. Tinder actually just …
