This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

Q-Link

Now, that's a blast from the past!

I agree that "online" is too much of a generalization. There definitely needs to be a differentiation between people meeting each other in an online meeting space not specifically set up for dating vs. a dating app or website which is specially looking to match people up.

If you meet on a forum or other type of social environment that is not specifically for dating, is it really much different than meeting at a bar or a bowling alley?
