Not everyone is planning to spend Valentine's Day with a special someone, and research has found that more people are now choosing to celebrate with friends. Dubbed ‘Galentine’s Day’ – taken from TV showParks and Recreation– February 13th is a new holiday for friendships.

Tech can’t change the way we love (yet), but it has changed the way we date. Globally, 91 million people use dating apps, with Tinder boasting 50 million users. But swiping has become boring. So what’s filling the gaps in the market? And how do people want to find love in 2015 and beyond?

Americans are set to spend a record amount this Valentine’s Day. But gift giving isn't always a great way to get someone what they actually want. For developing relationships that will support us through life, however, the social benefits far outweigh the financial wastage.

Tinder has become synonymous with modern dating, and its new app for Apple TV is allowing people to conduct their love lives in full view of friends and family in the living room. But will people actually use it to start a potential new relationship, or just for a bit of human window shopping?
