It was during a mid-week catch up with a friend over a few glasses of wine that we discovered the new dating app in town. It is one we are all well accustomed to now. As he said, "Why would I be on Tinder, if I have Instagram?" Confused? He tells us a story. The just-divorced, eligible, moderately famous, charming 34-year-old writer loves to date, although without commitment. "The dating apps are too in-your-face. Your profile on Instagram is an extension of you, as it's a much safer place to be yourself. Dating on Instagram may be a byproduct, but I feel if you are single [or not] and open to it, it invariably happens. Depending on what you put out, you attract the right kind of energy." The writer has gone on multiple dates, most that end up in nightcaps, via Instagram. When we speak to him, probing deeper about how the dating process works, he is candid as always. "So I usually get lots of messages, and I usually reply with a heart emoji. But if someone leaves an interesting comment about a piece of writing that intrigues me, I respond, and then sometimes the conversation takes off organically. There is light flirting, then a plan is made to 'meet'. For example, I am in Delhi right now for work, and I have three or four people who want to take me out, so I am waiting to see what turn the evening will take now."
