It’s like you can’t seem to keep up with these dating trends. The dating site Plenty of Fish just put out a goofy list of new dating trends they expect to see in 2023.
They came up with names for all of them and polled 8,000 single people.
These are the emerging dating trends:
1. Main Character Energy: Focusing on yourself instead of wasting time on people who don’t meet your standards or needs. (Careful! It’s a play on BDE, which of course is “Big [Stick] Energy,” if you’re following.
2. Eco-Dumping: Dating (or NOT dating) someone based on how environmentally conscious they are (or are NOT).
One in five singles say they know someone who’s dumped someone because their views on climate change and the environment didn’t align.
3. Heat Doming: Dating someone specifically for their household amenities . . . basically just to mooch off their air conditioning, pool, WiFi, or comfortable bed.
4. Infla-Dating: Going on less expensive dates because of inflation and the current economic environment.
5. James-Webbing: This is silly. It’s deciding to date someone after “seeing them through a different lens.” You know, like how NASA’s new space telescope is giving us a closer, better look at things.
6. OnlyPlans: Repeatedly planning dates with someone, but never actually following through on them .
