Summary | The author of the article met a life coach/texting buddy on Tinder. They have now been texting each other for two years, and they have never met. Her life coach, a young Syrian man, regularly gives her tips about relaxation, meditation, and breathing. She likes the fact that her "therapist" is digitally accessible 24 hours a day.

Summary | A man tells the story of how he met his now wife on an online dating app called Bumble. It is a little different from Tinder in that women need to do the first step and chat up a male match. They only get 24 hours to do that or the match is lost. Dating has moved to the digital sphere for many people nowadays.
