With the advent of technology and the internet, the dating landscape has changed dramatically in recent years.
One of the biggest advantages of dating in the modern world is the accessibility it provides. With just a few swipes or clicks, you can connect with hundreds of potential partners. However, this can also lead to disappointment and mistrust when the person you meet in real life doesn’t match the narrative or image they presented online.
Now, with all of the internet sleuths, it’s increasingly more difficult to be a bad partner.
