Abstract
“Tinder, Meetic, Adopte Un Mec, Grindr…”, these names echo in the head (and heart) of a many single person engaged with a romantic quest, in order to gain experience or to find the long coveted grail: the soulmate! While dating sites and applications vow to create facilitated relationships and idyllic affinities, implying a short term success (proving their efficacity), the reality is often different, with users finding refuge within them, both daily and on the long-run. If various parameters should be taken into account to justify this regular implication, specific mechanisms, borrowed from video game, seem to be the new keystone of this loyalty.
