"Dating Docs: The New Love Brokers for App-Weary Singles"

Singles disillusioned with traditional dating apps like Tinder and Bumble are turning to a novel approach to find love: creating personal "dating documents" on Google Docs. This trend gained traction after dating app burnout became a common issue, as acknowledged by Hinge's CEO. Users share their dating documents publicly, detailing their interests, relationship goals, and personal information, in hopes of finding a more genuine connection. The approach has been met with varying levels of success, with some finding potential matches and appreciating the deeper conversations facilitated by the format, while others are still waiting for the right connection. The trend reflects a shift towards more effortful and personalized methods in the online dating scene.
