Cupidās On Strike: Apps Fail, Friends Forced To Swipe
Welcome to America's dating drought, where Hinge has become the new Bermuda Triangle of romance, and texting is the new bad date. Elena Vargas is playing unpaid Uber Matchmaker, swiping and setting dates so her busy friend can 'just show up and be yourself.' As dating pro Damona Hoffman says, people want an 'old-fashioned meet-cute,' because apparently modern dating feels like ordering love from a vending machine. Terence Philpotts sums it up: 'People simply donāt go out as much as they used to.' So call your aunt, set up your friends, and save mankind from the endless chat loop doomed to forever fizzle out.

Congrats, modern dating! You've managed to make love so exhausting that your friends are now doing your swiping. Who knew romance became the unpaid internship nobody wanted?
