For most of history, finding a partner was a family affair governed by rules, traditions, and community expectations. Courtship often unfolded through formal introductions, supervised visits, handwritten letters, and carefully defined social rituals. Today, a single swipe can connect two strangers in seconds. But how did dating change so dramatically—and what was gained and lost along the way?

In this video, we explore how dating went from courting to swiping and what we lost along the way. Discover how courtship worked in the Victorian era, why dating emerged in the early 20th century, and how automobiles, movies, television, birth control, and the internet transformed romance. Learn how matchmaking moved from families and communities to algorithms and dating apps, fundamentally changing the way people meet, communicate, and form relationships.
