It's a brave new world...

It doesn’t matter how brilliant your banter, the online dating pool can still be avery challenging place, discovers Harriet Minter

- 

With all the enthusiasm of a chicken entering McDonalds, I have decided to dip a toe back into the wonderful world of online dating.

This means I am back on the dating apps (or back on Hinge as Tinder is too depressing and Bumble literally won't let me create a new profile). To make the swiping process slightly less soul-destroying. I've decided to gamify and try to find one useful piece of learning or advice on each profile I come across.

This is a largely futile exercise but when I saw a man who claimed his superpower was finding 'joy in the smallest of triumphs'. I was instantly intrigued.
