>didir="ltr">“How did you meet?” The familiar question has historically been answered with romantic or quirky tales of mutual friends and chance encounters, all of which compel a chorus of oohs and aws. But, in recent times, those tales have taken a drastic turn—whether for better or worse remains unclear. 

For a very long time, likely since the very beginning of time, close friends and family have been the most prominent way to establish new connections with other people.

Particularly in the realm of romantic relationships, there’s a notable shift happening that affects many parts of dating.
