Today's subject is not one that is relevant to me any more, but as it happens a few of my friends and colleagues have mentioned their experiences on dating apps recently. I remember that dark time before I found true love (my wife reads this blog), where I tried internet dating and in the end decided it was not right for me. Originally I thought what does it matter how you meet? Is a smartphone app that different from a party, a bar, a sports club, an office or a university? Isn't it just another way to meet potential partners? But actually I think it is different. If two people meet after an internet exchange their first physical meeting is reduced to yes or no will I sleep with this girl/guy. Meetings in all other contexts are completely different. The relationship develops over time you don't always know that a romance (or sex for my more literal readers) might be a possibility. You could argue that smartphone dating is more efficient (especially if you happen to be a consultant) but I'm not sure efficiency is always the right answer.
