Need a valentine for Valentine’s Day? Dating apps might help, as suggested by the “Pizza and Pleasure” talk on Thursday.
Katherine Hewitt, the wellness coordinator from Trinity University's Counseling Services, presented different ways to meet people through apps and dating websites, three days before Valentine's Day.
There are benefits using dating sites and applications, according to Hewitt, since they eliminate the “blind date” by providing in-depth profile information and match people through algorithms. Hewitt herself has had firsthand experience with how technology has reshaped dating. She and her husband began dating after he “poked” her on Facebook when they were in college.
