If we go back to the early 90s, there was no such thing as online dating services. Girls and boys, men and women, met each other at school, through friends, at work, or through activities they were involved in.
Some of these meetings were even totally by chance. All of this changed in when the first online dating site was launched — Match. Today, that number has grown to over 8, worldwide. And they range from all-inclusive services all ages, ethnicities, gender identities, etc.
How did this all happen? The reasons are numerous. We have younger generations who use the Internet with impatience. They want what they want right now. And they want convenience in all that they do — from shopping to education and beyond. It only stands to reason that they want efficient and convenient ways to date too. If they can join something like Hily dating app and spend time filtering out possible matches, why not?
It saves both time and money, narrowing the field of possible dating partners to those they have more potential to connect with. And they can use those apps from anywhere and at any time at their convenience.
Enter Covid. We were isolated and confined to our homes. We were craving connections with others. Our friends on social media were there, of course, but what if we were looking for new connections?
