“Behind every connection is a bigger story. Here’s why fostering face-to-face interactions matters now more than ever.”

Why it matters?

We live in the most digitally connected age in history, yet people are lonelier than ever. Over 60% of adults in the U.S. report experiencing loneliness at least sometimes, and studies link social isolation to a higher risk of anxiety, depression, and even physical health challenges.

While dating apps and social platforms offer introductions, they cannot replace the emotional and mental health benefits of face-to-face interaction.

The science of connection

Research from the U.S. Surgeon General shows that loneliness can increase the risk of premature death as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

On the other hand, In-person socializing triggers the release of oxytocin and dopamine, neurochemicals that reduce stress and enhance feelings of well-being. Offline interactions strengthen trust, empathy, and belonging — all critical for both romantic and non-romantic relationships such as friendships, professional networking, and community support.

The Shift Toward Real-Life Connection

In-person singles events saw a 42% increase in attendance from 2022 to 2023, highlighting a clear trend away from purely digital swiping toward real-world experiences.

Gen Z and Millennials increasingly report “dating app fatigue”, with over 70% saying they prefer opportunities to meet through friends, social activities, or community gatherings. This shows a growing appetite for authentic offline experiences that complement and not replace digital introductions.
