In the master's thesis I research the student's perception of meeting partners online, and I focus specifically on those who are using the online application Tinder. Nowadays, meeting partners is a very different process than before, because the dating has transferred online, and at the same time, we notice that the comprehension of intimacy is changing too. Only a few
decades ago, marriage was the only socially accetaple form of a partnership, but with the apperance of new technologies, new conditions for forming new ways of meeting partners have been created. In the theoretical part, I discuss the important areas of changes in intimacy, comprehension of love and online dating applications. All three areas were of key importance
when researching the discussed topic. The empirical part is based on qualitative research, which I have done with ten students of both genders. On the basis of analysis of the interviews with the students, I have discovered their patterns of intimacy, the causes for choosing to search for partners online, and their experience with the online application Tinder.
