Why is it so hard to find meaningful, long-term relationships?

A vast majority of young people report they’re burned out by app dating, and many are also struggling to date IRL .

Dating experts say they want a more bespoke dating-app experience, starting with more personal questionnaires that get to the heart of who someone is.

Tinder says it's focused on building “meaningful connections”.

Dating experts say dating apps need to take into account users’ emotional well-being.

Safety is another issue plaguing daters and dating servicers when it comes to swiping on apps or meeting a stranger in the wild.

Tech could also help “guide users through their entire dating and relationship journey,” experts say.

Most people simply do not have the funds to pay for a premium service, which creates an accessibility issue and class divide.

Those who say they have paid for it are also warning people against it.

“Please stop trying to make us pay to find a connection,” one user says.
