When Love Is A Swipe

Taking a swipe at the way modern day love blossoms on Tinder and such dating apps, Mathew J Maniyamkott tells us what real love is all about

Every time I see a couple, I am curious to learn more about their story, where they met for the first time, how it translated into a relationship and what would it have been like to have not met each other at all. American songwriter Eden Ahbez said, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return." I don't think anything could be truer, for someone like me who was recently head over heels in love with an incredible woman, I truly believe that the few months with her; completely besotted and crazily in love were some of the best moments in my life. My love for her blossomed over WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger's video calls. This `relationship' lasted ten months and we would have met around 6-7 times, isn't that ridiculously low for someone I was incredibly in love with?
