The Art of Taking Dating Less Seriously: Finding Joy in the Process
Ah, dating. A topic that always seems to be a source of frustration and confusion. Remember the good old days when people used to meet in person, exchange numbers, and go on dates?

According to a study by the Pew Research Center, 30% of US adults have used a dating app, and that number jumps to 55% among those aged 18 to 29. With so many people relying on apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge to meet potential partners, it’s no wonder that things have become more complicated.

And while having that many options might sound like a dream come true, it can actually be overwhelming. It’s easy to get caught up in the endless swiping and matching, and before you know it, you’ve spent hours scrolling through profiles and still haven’t found anyone you’re interested in.
