Tired of Dating Apps? How This Woman Found Love Offline
Burnout is pushing many users toward slow dating, friend introductions and shared activities as surveys show 78% feel drained by apps.
- A 2026 Nanos Research survey commissioned by The Globe and Mail found that only 8% of Canadians are actively dating, as singles increasingly abandon dating apps.
- Users report feeling emotionally drained by the process, with 78% of app users citing exhaustion in a 2025 Forbes Health survey; platform designs reward volume over genuine connection.
- Matchmakers report renewed interest in human curation as singles return to volunteering and group activities where conversations build on common ground rather than curated profiles.
- Although the online dating market in Canada brought in about C$90 million in 2025, around 20% of current Canadian relationships began through online platforms, showing mixed market impact.
- Apps will remain part of how people meet, especially in smaller cities and for same-sex couples where around 60% met online; offline methods and digital tools will coexist.
