Men and women manage to turn every new kind of communication into a means of finding a love partner. Be it the smallest newspaper, the Morse alphabet, radio, TV or computers and the Internet (Sprecher et al, 2008: 249). Thus, throughout history, individuals have sought to find a love partner through newspapers, through online dating sites, and through agencies. All these methods are still active today, and it is up to the individual to choose which one suits him best. Smartphones are making everyday life easier for individuals and new mobile applications are constantly evolving. For this reason, and because our lives are accelerating, it is not surprising that there are more and more applications that serve the romantic bonding of individuals (Jung et al, 2019: 47-72). There is a large number of them on the market and only some of them are truly successful. The most famous and commonly used in Croatia are Tinder, Badoo and OkCupid. The purpose of this paper is to answer the questions of why individuals choose or do not choose to use Tinder, what their experiences with using the application are, and what are the views of their peers and family. The in-depth, semi-structured interview method was used in the study, and interviews were conducted with four users and four non-users. Users use the app for different motives, but all cite the lack of time in their daily lives as a reason. The ways in which they behave on the application differ, and at some point they all come across some kind of condemnation. The reasons for not using the app also vary, so some users avoid it because of a lack of confidence and some because of doubts about the intentions of the people on the app. Key words: mobile apps, romantic relationships, new technologies
