Dating apps have completely altered the way we we think and talk about our romantic lives. Swiping, situationships and shifting standards of communication have created an emotional gap between what we want and how we actually date, leading us to wonder if these apps are helping us find love, or leaving us lonelier than ever.
In The Love Fix, journalist Rachel Thompson investigates how the internet shapes our expectations, self-esteem, and search for intimacy as we date online and in-person. Are 'preferences' every truly just that, or do they couch hidden prejudices? Can you feel a 'spark' when you meet someone online? How do you find meaningful connections while honouring your feelings and your mental health?
Weaving personal anecdotes with ground-breaking research and interviews with real people, sociologists mental health experts, this book will help you make sense of the modern dating landscape, teach you how to confidently ask for things that work for you and provide you the tools to find the security and connections you deserve.
Required reading for every person who is dating right now. * Beth Ashley *

We’ll never have all the answers or even all the questions we have about love fully explained, but it’s clear that the landscape of intimacy has changed and that we are simultaneously hyper-connected and disconnected. This book really unpacks and unpicks how these contextual shifts and adaptations have changed our social expectations when it comes to love, and has altered the course of how we meet, start and maintain loving connections. -- Kate Moyle, Psychosexual Therapist and author of The Science Of Sex
