When Crislin, 28, an operations coordinator, was fresh out of a divorce, she began cringing her way through the Big Three of dating apps: Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble. Online meet-cutes happen anywhere on the internet that doesn’t require swiping, where couples meet in all kinds of virtual spaces, like a Rick Owens fan page.

Some people only post to Instagram Stories when they’re in the talking stage, while others wait to see how their crush will react to the laundry list of video essays they sent before asking for a second date. In some circles, it is now normal to creep someone’s Letterboxd before a first date. Like confessing, on TikTok, to revenge-buying an ex’s Depop Likes so they can’t have the clothes. There’s more to online dating than just dating apps.
