Some singles are taking an unusually organized approach to dating by using spreadsheets to help search for a compatible partner. In a report from ABC News, Morgan Norwood examines how people are applying data and tracking methods to something usually guided by emotion and chemistry.
The idea reflects a broader trend of treating dating like a process that can be measured and refined. Rather than relying only on instinct, some people are sorting details, preferences and patterns in an effort to better understand what they want and which matches may fit best.
For supporters of the method, spreadsheets can offer a clearer way to compare experiences and spot recurring traits. Critics, however, may see it as a sign that modern dating has become overly analytical, turning personal connection into a checklist.
The report highlights how technology and personal data habits continue to shape relationships. Whether seen as practical or unromantic, using spreadsheets to find love shows how far some singles are willing to go in the search for the right match.
