Some young people are reportedly looking for qualified romantic partners on LinkedIn. Considering the wide availability of dedicated dating platforms like Tinder and Bumble, it’s somewhat unclear why young singles would choose to mix their romantic pursuits with professional networking. According to users who treat LinkedIn as a dating site, its appeal lies in its ability to provide control and enhance the quality of potential matches, as features like requiring users to link current and past employment profiles add a layer of credibility. YPulse data has shown young people turn to social media as an essential part of their dating life, but between reports of using LinkedIn and even Duolingo to find matches, they may be considering more untraditional social platforms.
