I absolutely love this piece and will share it at my blog about Dickens!

Just want to point out one thing, though: No single person that I've ever known--and that is a LOT of single people, myself included--uses dating apps because we like them. Most of us hate them like poison. We use them, or did use them (some of us have finally given up in disgust), because we weren't getting asked out any other way. And rather than being overwhelmed by the thousands of perfect options out there, it's more like "Lord, could you send just one who's nice and kind and doesn't go into a rage when asked to write in complete sentences? Just ONE? Please?"

Anyway, thank you for the lovely Dickensian treat, and Christmas blessings to your new trio! :-)

I hear you, Gina! You’re absolutely right--for so many these days they are a ‘necessary evil’, which really sucks. I was more taking aim at the concept of dating apps, the idea of the volume of choice, but you’re probably right--you probably end up just realising what volume of terrible choices there are out there!

Thanks for reading ❤️
