Navigating Modern Dating

Published: Nov. 28, 2019, midnight

Dating & relationship expert Sarah Louise Ryan, joins Lyn this week to discuss modern dating; how it’s changed and evolved through the years to be a more online approach through technology and social media channels, and the best alternative offline options she offers to navigate the modern dating world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has the same technological tools to search online for their perfect partner. Somewhere in this process, despite these new ways of connecting, the irony is that we have unfortunately become less connected, because both parties are not physically present with each other. There is no actual substitute for real human interaction. There are infinitely more ways of communicating than merely with words. We need to get out there into the physical world, and just use technology as the spur to make this happen. Experiences come in all shapes and sizes. Even select moments can leave lasting impressions and memories that simply aren’t possible in the virtual world of rapid online matchmaking. People are being sifted down to a list of expectations these days. We can become as technical as we like in terms of searching. We can specify our ideal requirements, and can discount potential partners with a simple tap. Sometimes the greatest relationships are built upon having some diverse interests, and we are slowly losing that option in the modern world. Sarah is devoted to returning to the tried and trusted formula of providing events and activities where people can meet face to face, and communicate properly with each other before making any decisions about dating in the future.
