There’s a new dating concept for people bored of apps, and it has the potential to connect Christians

Lauren Windle, author of Notes On Love: Being Single and Dating in a Marriage Obsessed Church, shares her thoughts on the latest dating concept to hit the market.

I remember when Tinder first came out. The original dating app. I wasn’t a Christian at the time and I thought it was brilliant. A friend and I sat in a pub garden swiping relentlessly enjoying the novelty of so many options. But as well as know, novelty wears off and reality sinks in.

Anyone who’s been on a dating app for more than a weekend will know that it can get tiring. There’s the rejection, the ghosting, the matching and unmatching and the boring languishing conversations to navigate. The whole romantic endeavour quickly feels like another admin task. I’ve got lots of friends who refuse to use them because they find them more depressing than uplifting.
