If you can't find love in the real world, take it to the next level by using [Facebook's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-debuts-at-stagecoach) Matchbook app to seek your lover.

It's a modern-day [match-making app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-matchmaker) that scrounges through your friends list to find the best romantic candidates. Matchbook instantly calculates you and your friends' qualities and rounds up the best matches. It's fast and can be fun while saving you the trouble of going to eHarmony or Lavalife, if you haven't tried that yet.

Users can click on a person and touch the match button. This introduces potential couples to each other and connects them through [private messages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-me-maybe). There's no charge with the Matchbook app, and when you do fall in love, it's all thanks to Facebook.
