Significant cultural and technological changes are occurring globally, leading us to adopt new ways of relating to others. Therefore, it is timely to reflect on the challenges of modern matchmaking and analyze the future landscape of romantic relationships. In this paper, nine premises are presented suggesting that arranged marriages could be the future of romantic relationships in the West. Notable premises include the increase in singleness, the consequences of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the influence of technology on interpersonal relationships, and the evolution of gender roles. Finally, possible solutions are discussed, including the use of technology and the resurgence of practices analogous to arranged marriages. Additionally, recommendations are offered to both professionals and the general population to address the challenges of modern matchmaking.
