The online dating bubble has burst and singles are craving human contact again


Waiting is a thing of the past. We live in the instant generation where we expect an Uber to arrive in less than 3 minutes, a takeaway to be at your doorstep within the hour and clothes to be delivered to your door the same or next day.
We are not patient anymore and singletons across the country agree. The rise of the dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble has reached it’s peak and things are changing. Disengaged dating app users are getting fed up of getting matches that never speak, reply or actually want to meet (other than for hook ups!). Single people of all generations are getting repetitive strain injury swiping through endless ‘potential partners’ with no progress whatsoever.



The world and our place in it is changing. Dating is no different. Singles across the country and abroad are avoiding these frustrating situations by looking to find dates.
Literally there and then, at the touch of a button, in the moment. Just like celebrities such as Ed Sheeran take time off from social media, more and more singles are looking to take their dates offline.
The online dating bubble has burst and people are craving human contact and real experiences again. The hangover that apps such as Tinder and Badoo have left is that now people do not know how or where to start meeting potential dates and heaven forbid someone would ask someone on a date to their face!
There is a new wave of online dating being started by brands such as NOW Dating. Recently covered in the Telegraph as one of the best dating apps of 2017. They promise to connect real people at great Venues for real dates in the moment.
This balance of online and offline allows singles to find other people available for a date at the same time, invite (no face to face invitations, phew!), and date real people. The beauty of this is that you don’t get fake, silent or predatory matches. You meet real people and get to know them over a real date. Online dating is becoming less online as singletons resist the urge to swipe and give in to their craving to create real experiences, now.
