Honestly, for all their flaws this is something that dating apps do make easier: fitting dating into a busy schedule. It doesn't take that much time to set up a profile, do a bit of swiping and have a few conversations.

Of course, the actual dates take time, but it is not difficult to make time for a date with someone you like because it's something you want to do. Actually getting to that point is what took a lot of time before dating apps because you basically had to spend a lot of time in a situation (like a bar) where you might encounter someone compatible and hit it off with them. (Back in the day people just did this at their job but I think that is less acceptable in Western society now.)
