I would be distraught if a friend left my side at a club or a pub because his eyes met with some bloody stranger.. I feel like to have old-style dating, you would have to give up new-style socialising with friends?

I'm much more content with the idea of a friend swiping left and right at home and then coming to enjoy a night out with friends, than the idea of someone doing a 2-birds-1-stone type thing and trying to chat up new gash in between dancing terribly to music we hate, and smoking delicious cigarettes.

Tbh, that's another positive. At least with the apps you know when you meet up (on the proviso they are who they say they are) you at least already know you will have something in common with the person and therefore if all else fails it won't be a 100% disaster.

Yeh, thats the main positive for me. I haven't used them for a year and a half, and I'm not planning on using one any time soon. But I'd imagine a date would be far more interesting if you knew two or three shared interests beforehand.
