Published on 11/10/2022
The benefits of online dating are endless. The sea is much larger when you aren’t confined to your small social circle or geographic area.

A 2019 Pew Research Center study showed that 30% of Americans said they'd used an online dating site or app, and that was before the pandemic forced the world to push even more interactions online. In 2021, there were 323.9 million dating app users worldwide, way up from 198.6 million six years earlier. Have you used an online dating app?

If you aren't able to see your significant other in person for a prolonged period of time because of finances or lack of opportunity, breaking up with them through whichever method is quickest can be the most considerate because you don't want them hanging onto hope when they could be moving on. Do you think it's okay to break up with someone virtually, whether that be an email, text or zoom call? Yes
