Gone are the days when you’d pen down a romantic letter for your loved one; today, you swipe right, send a message and call it a day.
The nature of romantic relationships has drastically changed in the past decade due to the role of digital technology. Finding love is no longer about meeting someone in a coffee shop or through mutual friends. Dating apps have unfortunately taken away this spontaneity and intrigue. Online dating has come a long way since chat rooms; today, thousands of dating apps are available worldwide. These apps cater to people with all sorts of preferences. Whether you are dating to marry or just exploring your options, there is an app that caters exactly to your needs.
But Why Dating Apps?
The increase in the use of dating apps has been caused due to several reasons but one defines all: the ever-evolving technology that is slowly taking over our lives. We no longer travel, communicate, work or even eat the same way we used to a decade ago, so why shall we date the same way?
With dating apps comes the opportunity to meet people you wouldn’t meet otherwise. Back in the day, if you didn’t have a social circle, were too shy to approach someone new or lived in a small town, you’d probably end up getting married to whoever your family wanted you to. But dating apps have solved this problem like it never existed. As long as you know what you’re looking for, you can easily connect with potential partners with similar interests, values and goals. The best part is, that you get plenty of time to know the person before you take the big decision.
Online Dating in Pakistan
In Pakistan, where arranged marriages have been a norm since the beginning of time, dating apps are slowly taking over. However, this doesn’t mean that online dating is no longer peculiarly looked at, sometimes even considered borderline taboo.
In times like these, Muzz has proven to be the hero of dating apps in Pakistan. Branding itself as a ‘marriage app’ rather than a dating app, Muzz is the new ‘halal’ way to online date. Ever since its introduction, Muzz has attracted millions of Pakistanis from every corner, with almost 15,000 marriages resulting from the platform since its launch.

What makes Muzz different from the rest of the dating apps is its almost halal approach. The app allows users to blur their profile pictures and even share message transcripts with a relative like they were ACTUALLY there!
Too Good to be True?
If you often find yourself contemplating whether you should create an account, you’re not the only one. Despite the popularity of dating apps in Pakistan and all over the world, the risk of being ghosted is unavoidable. You could be talking to someone every day and wake up to them blocking you and disappearing. The uncertainty is unavoidable. If that isn’t bad enough, creating fake identities and using someone else’s images to catfish isn’t out of the question either.
The rise in dating apps worldwide is showing a clear shift in the attitude of those looking for a romantic relationship. However, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Now you decide: do you want to write a letter or swipe right?
