It seems the "summer fling" is a real thing. According to data from the online dating service OkCupid, now's the time most people are looking for one-night stands.

The dating app swipe can be addictive and satisfying, but it also rests on snap judgements that aren't necessarily the things that make a relationship work, such as common interests and a shared worldview.

Online dating is, for lack of a better phrase, freaking exhausting. I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed using Tinder, Bumble and the like, but dating in this modern age without them is almost unheard of. I've heard several people describe their dating-app experience as "video game-like", which is kind of disheartening, considering that there are actual humans attached to the videos on the screen.
