Why does dating
often
times seem sodifficult and
daunting?With all the dating
websites and social networks
out there, you’d think itwould
be easier than ever for singles
tomeet someone special. But
that’s not the case.Meeting the
right people seems harder than
ever. Toget the latest on real-
time dating trends, we caught
upwithMelissaBrown, one of
themanydating experts at

Just Lunch.
Q:
Sowhat does today’sdat-
ing scene look like?
A:
Dating today is an inter-
esting paradox: we’remore
connected than ever through
socialmedia and online net-
working, yetwe’re alsomore
disconnected than ever. Today’s
technologymakes communica-
tion faster, but I’mnot sure
it’s better. You can’tmake
a genuine connectionwith
someone by texting, emailing
or friending.When youmeet
someone in person and share
ameal together, you see how
that person interactswith you
and the people around you. You
observe their body language
andhow they carry themselves.
That’swhere the true chemis-
tryhappens: face-to-face, one
on one. At
It’s Just Lunch
, our
focus is toget people out from
behind their computers and out
making connectionswith real
people.
