## Resource

In early 2023, dating site Eharmony released findings from a survey of over 1000 singletons. The research found that on average they spent 55 minutes per day logged in to the dating app, with six conversations on the go at the same time. Despite that, as many as 70% of those surveyed felt heavy dating app usage had a negative impact on their mental health. Spending so much energy on dating can get overwhelming, but fear not. I'm here to tell you about a solution which could help you take back control of your love life: the zero date. The idea was invented back in 2018 by American entrepreneur Christina Wallace. What’s it all about then? What’s the difference between a zero date and a regular first date then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
