Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner star in the romantic comedy 13 Going on There is some mixed data on how couples are meeting, but falling in love with a friend may be more popular than finding love on dating apps. It takes a while for their romantic feelings to grow, but a few seasons into the show, the two marry. Of course, there are many real-life examples of this happening as well. But are dating apps preventing this type of romance from blossoming? Are the days of Jim and Pam playing pranks on their coworkers and having dozens of conversations before falling in love gone? Their relationship can look like Emma and Mr. Or their relationship can look like Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who grow up together and then pine after each other before finally getting together. In general, people are getting married less and are more likely to be single. And the way dating works has changed. A Stanford study said among those who are in relationships, online dating is the most likely way in which they met each other. Other studies offer more conservative numbers on that front.

A poll through YouGov had some different results.

The common places like school, work, church and restaurants are still where some couples are meeting each other. In fact, it seems most people would rather a relationship form from a friendship in the context of their social network rather than sporadically with a stranger. It depends on your own personal priorities. Other online dating services are more specific. There are some dating websites like Mutual, which is specific to Latter-day Saints who are looking for someone who shares their same faith background, or other sites like Farmers Only, which is catered toward farmers and people who live in rural communities. Other apps like Lefty are geared toward people who are politically progressive, while apps like The Right Stuff are marketed toward political conservatives.
