This paper investigates the motives and ways of using dating apps for the purpose of developing love relationships among young people. The backbone of the research is emotions, that is, the development of emotions in the digital space. The approach of the sociology of emotions was used as a basic theoretical framework with the use of the dramaturgical approach of Erving Goffman. The goal of this paper is the analysis of social relations based on the exchange of emotions and mutual interactions, and the way in which actors adapt to the cultural scenario and coordinate mutual self-presentations (Turner, Stets, 2011). For the purposes of the research, a survey questionnaire was constructed in which 106 respondents participated, from 18 to 35 years of age with the aim of discovering the main motives, methods of use and the development and stability of the love relationship of young people using dating applications. In addition, by adapting Erving Goffman's theory of the dramaturgical approach, the presentation on applications is explored through photos, profile description and interaction, and self-image management for the purpose of acceptance. The results indicate that the younger population has positive attitudes towards relationships created through applications, but they still believe that it is better to meet a partner in person. Respondents perceive their relationships as stable, with those using applications grouped under the name "other" (Grindr, Bumble, OkCupid, Romeo...) showing the highest stability, followed by Badoo and Tinder respondents. There are no significant differences in the motives of use with regard to sexual orientation, although heterosexual and bisexual respondents more often state fun, while homosexuals and "others" (pansexuality, sapiosexuality) state the development of a love relationship. With regard to gender, no differences were found in the presentation on applications.
