  • I’m almost 55 years old and online dating is something I truly despise. I like meeting people in person, by chance. Where as online dating, I have to weed through a lot of fake or flat out lying profiles. I’ve been duped a couple of times, but now ask delving questions about pictures and details. That usually deters those who are not real. Also, I’ve very active and enjoy hiking 14er’s and being on the go. Finding someone even close to my age, who is this active, is a BIG CHALLENGE!! I feel like I’ve done a lot to open up my chances by going to church, joining meetup groups, etc, but not connecting with someone on a deeper level. Sad to say many people my age are married or have a ton of baggage they won’t let go of. So dating right now is as much fun as trying on clothes that are too small.

  • First thank you for giving us this oportunity to see this video! Wow!!

    It shows the impact technologie already have on our lives. So many people are anxious about social interactions and often we turn toward our cellphone or whatever it is to avoid eye contact and real interactions. Its also our way to calm the anxiety, even going into a gym or a public place, we just pull out technologie to avoid facing our emotions and inconfort.

    Technologie evolves to a point its hard to listen to our own inner voice and even harder fo trust it. We are looking for validation outside of ourselves and it take away our willpower and strengths and confidence.

    We can find anything we need alone, but we dont have to live this way. Relationships are a choice and are more needed than we like to think they are. We are so afraid to be vulnerable. But we forget we all are. And there are no better feeling than sharing great moments with amazing people… in real life!

    Ill need to come to a retreat soon as you guys are getting a bit too much virtual for me hahahaha « you just got your weekly video from Matthieu » « care to watch now? » hahaha May you and your team have an exceptionnal week!

  • It’s sad that dating has become so artificial. We now lack the real connection bc of all the on-line dating it’s scary to think this is where it could be going.

  • That was super cute and funny. I love the futurism; there are a bunch of cool things possible for all of us. Losing connection with other human beings is not one of them.

    What do I love/hate about dating? Vulnerability is always hard, but often worth it. It doesn’t come across in texts though. I love that there is so much to do in dating, if you’re open minded.

  • This highlights how I feel about interactions alot of the time (doesn’t have to be a date).
    When me and my husband first got together, we moved way too fast. He just wanted to feel like he was worth being loved, me because I was frightened to be alone.
    It worked short term, but we never really dated. I feel like I missed out. Because of the speed we got together, we never truly got to know one another before the wedding rings went on. It’s caused big problems.
    Get to know someone TRULY. Date. Do the scary things.
    Comfort zones are where dreams go to die.

  • Thank you for sharing! That was an awesome video!

    I think the future definitely is heading this way. When phone calls seem absolete. When finding a date involves pulling up an app. I realize how much technology really plays in our lives. Then, in the end to have technology talk to each other, that’s cute but totally frightening.

    I see how we question ourselves and relying on tech has already become the way of the world, just look at google.. have a question look it up. Everything is easy, at the tip of our fingers.

    If it came around to sharing, I’d like to be able to share it. Any chance in cleaning it up with the language? Those are my only thoughts on editing.

    Thanks again!

  • If that’s what it comes to, I’m happy to continue to share my life with friends and family. Being single just isn’t that bad.

  • WOW! Great job getting us 100% invested in such a short time. It is a condensed, to its essence, version of dating now. Dating today reminds me of a Superbowl Ad. If I don’t brand myself correctly in the first 20 seconds that it takes for opposite sex to size up my pic and profile then no chance, they fast forward to next ad. A huge part of attraction is chemistry but it feels almost impossible to get a glimpse of chemistry in 1-2 text messages and then gone again. I can be “attracted” to a profile pic but honestly attraction is so much more then that for me and ad dating doesn’t allow for that. I am open to talking to people in person but I have deleted the online dating profiles – I am looking for an in person meet. I am okay with waiting…I don’t feel rushed or anxious about it which is nice.

    1. I can totally relate to this comment. It’s exactly how I feel in this new dating reality. I typically want everything to slow down so I can figure out if it’s a real connection.

      Most of the time I feel extremely anxious trying to date people.

  • I definitely feel like a CELL! Last night I really tried to talk to men, but they showed ZERO interest, as usual, which is terrible for my confidence. And I’m always worried the men I speak with will be married or in a committed relationship and that would be BAD- like she will come waking up as I’m flirting with her man. YIKES!!

    1. Lorry,
      I have flirted with women in the supermarkets and other public places, only to have their husbands/boyfriends coming walking around the corner. While the events were uncomfortable, I never let it stop me from trying again the next time the opportunity arose. audentes Fortuna iuvat (fortune favors the bold)

      What is that wife or girlfriend going to do? Give you a dirty look, at most? Stick with it. Who knows the next time you might it might be me. :-)

  • Wow…
    I can definitely see this happening!
    I hear that in Japan … this sort of virtual reality dating already exists. Fictional mates!
    This is a very powerful film and left me in tears … i cant relate personally to the main character … however, I am a young 63 years old woman, separated for 5 years, 2 grown children … and wonder if I will be alone in my senior years. It’s painful.

  • Actually I found this video quite funny yet sobering and scary to think we are heading in this technology, disconnected world where human interaction is being replaced by a “virtual” reality”…it’s happening now especially with online dating! It reinforces the point of living a full life of family, friends and personal interaction and engagement in our walk of like, letting alone romantic relationships.
    I applaud the approach and the creativity to illustrate this point while making it entertaining.
    And if I’m still single in 7 years after being single for the past 13 years, I know I will have been living my life to the fullest, not compromising on my standards and being grateful every day for the chances I’m taking to take that 1% and appreciating what I’m learning about myself and others that your programs has helped me realize. Thank you Matthew and team.

  • What I hate about dating today is that people are not willing to get in a serious relationship because of soany options that the internet offers. Why date one for a couple years if I can date one different everyday. This is the mentality what frustrates me. People are not serious to commit to one person.
