Can you recall the times when you went to a party or went to your friend’s cousin’s shaadi just so your mutual friend could make you meet cute strangers? Well.. turns out nobody does.

The study mentioned,
For heterosexual couples in the US, meeting online has become the most popular way couples meet, eclipsing meeting through friends for the first time around 2013.
