Elena Vargas assists her friend with Hinge, handling swipes, dates, and reservations to alleviate dating stress. She believes this modern matchmaking approach improves the dating experience. Many users face dating app burnout and struggle to transition from messaging to real-life meetings. Vargas points out that people often remain in endless texting without genuine connections. In response to the challenges of modern dating, individuals are returning to traditional methods of matchmaking to foster more meaningful connections with friends and acquaintances.
"Dating is scary," Vargas said, adding: "But when you have someone kind of doing the heavy lifting for you, the matching, the setting up, the setting the date, the setting the reservation - I feel like when all you have to do is show up and be yourself, it just takes everything out of it and it just makes it so much more enjoyable."
All too often, Vargas said, people never make it off the apps. They end up with pen pals, texting endlessly until the spark fizzles out. There's also the newly added step of checking your potential dates' reviews.
With dating app burnout rampant, and the costs to meet a new mate only rising, it's time to take matters into our own hands with good old-fashioned matchmaking and setting up our friends.
People simply don't go out as much as they used to," he said. "And I mean, I'm just as at fault as anyone else."
