People have always struggled to find love, it’s not a new concept of this generation we’re living in. There were always the jocks and the mean girls, it’s always been this way. I think it’s more important to discuss the digitalization of everything, not just dating. Some people can’t fathom talking to someone they find attractive in person because of how online we are, we’ve become socially inept

@zaatar It's not the same, though. In earlier times and in most or all cultures, there were ways of bringing young people together under supervision. Dances, balls, ice cream socials, evening customs of walking past each other in opposite directions, etc. Marriage never just happened.
