The concept of dating has changed drastically over time. Originally, the term ‘dating’ referred to a limited, frequently chaperoned courtship that led to marriage arrangements. As time passed and we abandoned antiquated, rigid courtship practises, dating evolved into a method to bond and spend time with romantically attracted individuals. The advent of the internet has drastically altered the media through which people become acquainted over the past few decades. From chat rooms and mailing lists to sites like Bumble, Tinder, and okCupid, online dating is quickly becoming mainstream.
The origin of what we now refer to as “online dating” is much more analogue than might be expected. The practise has its origins in newspaper personal advertisements and works of art carved into tree bark. However, technological advancements have shifted the human quest for affection into cyberspace. Operation Match, founded in 1965, was the world’s first dating service, allowing individuals to fill out questionnaires and obtain a list of potential matches. Match.com was established in 1995. Online matchmaking was the second most popular paid online service in 2007.
In the 2010s, online dating forums, sites, and applications were accessible to people of all genders, sexual orientations, geographic locations, and social groups. Today, online dating is a well-established element of society, arguably encroaching on the territory previously occupied by offline dating.
