Dating is about discovering one another, feeling out chemistry, and seeing if there’s a fit.
Meeting face-to-face is the best way to determine whether there is a connection. Unfortunately, online dating removes that important step. Maybe that’s why so many relationships that begin online are three times more likely to end in divorce.
At Heartts, in-person dates are exactly how you will connect with new people.
Research shows how unsuccessful online dating apps are. More than 4,000 couples claimed that relationships are more stable if met through traditional ways, such as work, community or friends. This can be due to the culture surrounding online dating which can be detrimental to our emotions.
Making a true connection online requires a lot more energy that many are not willing to put in because of the endless options of potential matches. There is a higher chance of someone “ghosting” you because they seek the thrill of finding someone new. By choosing to focus on the quantity of relationships instead of quality, people are forgoing the opportunity to build deep relationships which is essential for a healthy and long lasting relationship. It is an endless dating cycle that continues to get shorter and shorter because people know they can find someone knew at the touch of a button.
Data from a Michigan poll stated that 86% of online daters are concerned about false information presented online. Having the preconceived idea of who you are speaking to online is not who that person claims they are can put a sour twist on a potential relationship. It adds a lot more suspicion to uncertainty, making the experience scary and off putting, resulting in low success rates for long-term relationships.
