2. REFRESH YOUR
MEMORY
I was interested in researching why
people use dating apps and sites,
because I wanted to find out why
online dating has become so
popular.
I was also interested to see if these
apps and websites were used to
find love, hookups or to pass the
time. Our generation has become
very involved with apps, while the
older generation however, also uses
these apps and online dating sites,
Dating apps and dating sites have
become more common and
acceptable over the years.

4. METHODS
I Interviewed 10 People.

5. THEMES
Time
Convenience
Goals (Hook ups,
Relationships, or Bored)

6. TIME
“I think a big part, is we’re so busy now-a-days. Like for me, I’m so
busy now. If I hadn’t done the dating app back then, all I ever did was
go to work and then home. I never went out, I didn’t go to bars. I didn’t
do any of that. So, like I would never have time to meet anybody and
then for me, I was also in a college town with so many people.”

7. CONVENIE
NCE
“It’s convenient because you don’t have to go out
looking for someone, you can just go find them online
and it’s easier to find the preference you are looking
for.”

8. GOALS
• “Um I, I wasn’t looking for love it was more like it just seemed fun
to like swipe through and see who was on there that I thought was
cute. I guess I was probably looking for more of a hookup than a
relationship, but I was just going to see what happened and if I
even got together with anyone from there.”
Hook Ups:
• “I went into um signing up for like a dating app hoping to actually
meet someone and actually start a relationship and then delete
the app.”
Relationships:
• “Um I’m bored half the time, if I find something that is interesting
then I’ll go ahead and peruse it. Um am I looking for love no not
necessarily. Um am I looking you know um for a hook up, absolutely
not um like I said I’m just bored half the time and if I match with
somebody then I match with somebody. If I reach out or they reach
out and we have a nice conversation, then you know it is what it is
from there.”
Bored:

9. FINDINGS
Out of the 10 interviews that I conducted, less people used the apps/
sites for hook ups.
More people use these apps/sites for relationships or out of boredom.
Dating apps and sites are a convenient way to include dating into our
already busy lives. It’s easier than trying to meet someone in the
grocery store, at school or even at work. You don’t have to play
guessing games on whether or not they are single or think that you are
attractive. It’s a much faster way to find what you need whether it is a
hookup, relationship or just a conversation because you are bored.
