The ability to alter our beliefs and perceptions transforms the world and how we see it. Furthermore, they can show us new things and teach us even more.
So, the following movies are certain to change your beliefs and understanding of online dating.

This movie is over 20 years old, but it certainly explores the early days of online dating. Filmed in New York, it touches on two people who meet in a day of dial-up internet. They use online chat rooms and a dating site to connect, and they begin communicating. As expected in the early days of dating, their identities remain hidden, and they refuse to share any information on their lives.
However, their lives become connected in new ways, which is what makes online dating so unique. It teaches people to release more information about themselves because how can relationships be built without any prior information?

However, the film is centred around a girl reluctantly willing to explore online dating, although the main character focuses her profiles around her need for someone who loves dogs.
