For our grandparents at least, if the movies are anything to go by dating used to be all about going steady with your high-school sweetheart, confessing you have a crush to the hot-yet-wholesome boy or girl next door or passing a handwritten love note to your marriage-material co-worker in Accounting. It was so in-person. So real.

So, you can imagine how bewildering the world of online dating must be for this generation that was spared the humiliation of left swipes.

One woman Meredith Dean , from North Carolina decided to teach her grandparents about the cold, confusing and at times cringeworthy aspects of virtual dating that plague the younguns today. She gave them free rein of her Bumble account, and they were fascinated.
