There’s a big difference now in the age of the internet. Our romances aren’t curated by human matchmakers, but algorithms, and we’re falling in love via machine, not via candlelight. We may have a greater hit-rate, but it’s not particularly romantic, is it? We mustn’t blame the technology: online dating sites may have been developed to do this because we demanded it. We have always clustered into like-minded groups of people, and we’ve always looked to friends to matchmake. But by letting the machine do this for us, we may be ignoring the possibilities that the web uniquely offers, not to mention the fact that it also has the potential to divide us, rather than bring us together.
