All the places to exchange deep looks and supposedly casually start a conversation were closed. No celebrations with friends, no concerts, closed bars. It wasn’t a completely voluntary decision, but Franziska Focken didn’t want to do without data entirely either. So she gave Tinder, Bumble and Co. a chance in the second lockdown. Wrong, as she should quickly realize. “It was a terrible experience.” The 30-year-old looks just as uncompromising in the video as she says.
