Maybe you're hooking up on Hinge, joining the League's interminable waiting list, or maybe you're confused by them all. Either way, a growing number of dating apps are competing for our romantic attention. So where is mobile matchmaking headed? City Visions host Joseph Pace explores the universe of dating apps – how we use them, how they shape us, and how they’re constantly evolving to meet our desires.

Patrick King, dating expert at Patrick King Consulting: "If this becomes the preeminent form of dating, you better take it seriously if you're not meeting people in any other way."
Tony Bravo, contributor to San Francisco Chronicle's "Connectivity" column: "We're compartmentalizing people as the online profiles they have."
Lauren, everyday user of many popular dating apps: "Everyone's very busy and it's much easier to just message somebody."
