I'm personally not a huge fan of dating apps. Don't get me wrong; I have used them in the past. I just feel awkward starting a conversation with a stranger over my cellular device, but that doesn't mean others do.

In fact, a whopping 22% of spouses met online in 2019, according to a study done by The Knot. 

Of course, many people meet their partner the "old-fashioned way." About 19% of couples meet through mutual friends, 17% meet through school, 13% through work, and about 11% meet in social settings such as parties and the gym.

In other words, if you're looking for love in Steele County, perhaps it's time to break out the cell phone.
