February 14th, 2018, was Jennifer Aniston’s first Valentine’s Day as a single woman for quite some time. Seven years before, she’d fallen in love with actor, Justin Theroux on a movie set. A modern love story followed. We’d all been rooting for Jennifer to find love. Brad Pitt’s deflection to Angelina Jolie had seemed so brutal, back in 2005.

Two years ago, Rowella James – author of the inspirational novel ‘From Darkness to Truth’ – decided to join an online dating agency. With many of her peers already married, or in long-term relationships, Rowella was finding it increasingly difficult to meet interesting, single men. Though opportunities to ‘settle’ had arisen in the past, she had always been clear on what she was looking for – “That intuitive knowing that I had truly met someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.” Disappointingly, her decision to turn to the internet for help illustrated perfectly why online dating leaves romantics cold.
