Why don't commonly we see texting/online dating in romantic cinema?

Online dating, in real life, is wonderful. It allows people with social anxiety, like myself, to meet others without having to go up to total strangers in bars or whatever. I met my wife online.

But it's not interesting to watch. The only film I can think of about online dating was Catfish, and oh, no, that was not romantic. LOL.

It’s tinder exclusively for males if you know what I mean 😏

You wait for that flick about me and @Swan dating.

I see. It seems to me like you're the EXPERT, Larry!

This- technology and online dating are disembodied. Whilst there might be excitement for the participants, it’s internal and hard to show in a film. Also, online dating is often about quantity and whittling it down rather than finding one special person.

Saying that, AI is often romanticised in films- technology as sentient. Her is the primary example.
