Technology has infiltrated our lives in ways one couldn’t have imagined a few decades ago. It has made our day to day easier in numerous ways but has also led to smaller attention spans and a constant need for stimulation.

 

We have gotten used to everything being available at our fingertips – quick, easy to consume and even easier to move forward.

 

Sadly, that’s true for romantic relationships too.

 

Dating apps give you access to thousands of people in the privacy and comfort of your cell phone. They are a great way to meet people from different walks of life, which leads to immense personal growth and clarity on what is important to you and what you are looking for in a partner. What it also does is suck you into a vortex of curated profiles with heavily edited pictures and information peppered with half-truths. It creates an illusion that there are thousands of people who want the same things as you, and all you have to do is filter it down to the one who ticks all your boxes. Thus begins a never-ending spiral of swiping left.

It leads to a classic case of FOMO that lets perpetual swipers never get fully invested in one person as they are always left wondering if they are missing out on someone even more amazing than whom they are already with. It is especially disillusioning for people looking for serious relationships. One often forgets that most people on these apps are not at a point in their lives, emotionally or psychologically, to consider marriage a real option. You might want to drive off into the sunset but, those you are talking to might not have thought of what they want beyond the next morning!

Curated matchmaking has arisen as a very potent and valid option in the last few years for those looking to find someone to spend the rest of their lives with.

A large part of the hesitation with meeting matchmakers arises from stereotypes associated with the custom where the potential bride and groom have very little say in the entire process.

That is simply not true anymore.

Higher education levels and cultural and economic globalization has made single Indians freer to do their own searching for future spouses than their parents were.

Besides, there are a lot of similarities in the approach of online dating and modern matchmaking. In both

• There is a medium through which you meet a potential partner,
• You filter people basis your likes and dislikes
• You spend time knowing someone you have no connection with whatsoever, and if you don’t think you connect, you move on to someone new.

 

The big difference is the human touch.

 

The key lies in selecting with careful deliberation a service that understands your needs, takes care of your privacy and lets you take the reins because, at the end of the day, your entire future is at stake.

And if you are looking for such a service, you’ve arrived at just the right place.
