Meeting people, sustaining connections and just trying to keep up with the dating game can be extra exhausting in this era. We’re time-poor, highpressure, and trying to text everyone back while keeping our own sanity in check. You have to admit that our world has changed so much because of our lifestyles, the way we use our phones to interact with people — it ’s bound to affect how we network, and build relationships and friendships. It ’s not just us, even the experts say so! Violet Lim, CEO & Co-Founder of Lunch Actually Group says that the advent of dating apps have thinned our attention, for sure. “Dating apps give singles what we call ‘the paradox of choice’. When we have too many choices, we tend to have analysis paralysis and end up not making any choice!” she says.
