They are 18, 20 or 25 years old. They were born into the digital world and are fed on social networks. They see the world through the prism of new priorities and new visions. And what about courtship? In this month when we celebrate love, we wanted to decipher their way of working.
Romantic but pragmatic, they believe in love at first sight, but meeting in person is not the most urgent thing: the voice. They test the ground by exchanging for weeks on TikTok or Instagram, they talk to each other, they leave each other voice notes because the voice is what thrills them, what stimulates their imagination, what is the basis of their courtship.
"Everyone uses photo filters, so how can you really know what your crush actually looks like? At least the voice doesn't deceive and then it opens up the field of possibilities. I can spend hours listening to a voice I like, talking to someone I don't even know yet. In general, I already know whether the meeting afterwards will go well or not," says Emilio, 19.
However, a look or a gesture will also make them fall in love as long as it remains sincere and authentic.
This shows that, from generation to generation, a spark of magic does not hurt and can sometimes make the ideal partner appear.
