""I met my husband on Hinge, during the pandemic (November 2020)! It's so funny because we didn't even swipe on each other. The app algorithm sent me a message saying, 'Hi! We think you and [he] should meet!' Sure, why not, so I messaged him. We were both pretty 'unserious' about a long-term relationship at the time, but I'm so glad we stuck it out because we evolved into such a great couple, and now we can't imagine life without each other! We got married this summer. <3""
""I met my husband in 2015 on the dating app Plenty of Fish. His bio was really funny, and I decided one last date would be fine before I took a break. I had dated so many losers; I was tired and discouraged. Turns out, he really was my last date. We've been married almost eight years and have a 6-year-old together. He's my best friend, biggest cheerleader, and supporter. I couldn't do this life without him. I'm so lucky I found him.""
The dating scene has shifted toward online platforms over the last decade, with many people relying on apps to meet potential partners. Nearly half of young men have never asked anyone out in person. Dating apps and their algorithms can introduce matches rather than relying on users to swipe or initiate contact. Pandemic conditions accelerated some online connections, and casual or tentative intentions on apps can evolve into committed, long-term relationships. Several examples include couples who met through apps, later married, and started families, showing that online encounters can produce durable partnerships.
