Picture this: you have crawled out of the depths of lockdown. You have cast off the oversized jumper you have been basically living in for days. With one swipe of your arm the pizza boxes piled high from your ongoing self care evenings meet their final resting place in the bin. You climb out of your joggers and throw open the curtains. The sun glints through the leafy trees. Spring has sprung, summer is right around the corner.

The Apps in my experience have been comprised of the big three, Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. I must admit that I have never sampled the Oxford dating scene on OkCupid or Plenty of Fish — so perhaps am writing this article from a position of ignorance. I can tell you from experience however that there is absolutely zero benefit of having more than one app at the same time.

While these apps are supposedly designed for meeting someone new, few pleasures rival that of seeing somebody you already know on Tinder.
