work and be a powerful and wonderful way to meet someone, just as long as both people are honest about their wants, needs, and expectations, and are real about wanting something real.
X: What’s your prediction for the next evolution in the way people find love? What comes after online dating?
JN: I think we’re going to start introducing the human element back into online dating. We’ll start using matchmakers more, we’ll have professionals that vet our dates, and we’ll be a little more specific with what we’re looking for. Though I still wish there was a way to know if the hot guy at my spin class is in a relationship or not. Hopefully someone solves that problem for me.
