These days, more and more people are turning to online platforms in order to find love or companionship. Download the app, start swiping, and then go ahead and message any matches that pique your interest. The platform also allows users to swipe right and left on potential matches to indicate their interest, but the app is unique in the sense that it also has settings for users who are only looking to make platonic or professional connections. Another unique feature is that for heterosexual matches, women make the first move, and have 24 hours to secure the match.

Lois Liljestrom, sophomore psychology and sociology major, thinks that dating apps make finding relationships harder because many people have high expectations when meeting someone online.
