Generation Z Has Defined A New Dating World; The Generation That Is Stuck On Phone Applications!
- There are many stereotypes about Generation Z ‘Gen Z’ but are they real?
- What makes the way Gen Z dating so different from other generations?
- Their way of dating and meeting new people is limited to social media apps and dating apps
The dating ways of Gen Z might feel quite unusual for other generations. The idea of traditional dating and meeting people in real life does not work for them. Our next-generation, they have already adopted the habit of finding the world on their phone.
From meeting a new person to shopping, from dating someone to break-up’s, everything is just a clock away. With all the dating apps and social media influence, the dating situation is going through a different path now. Here are a few points that we think make Gen Z’s way of dating different.
5. The idea of casual hookups
When two people meet ahead, they have two goals on their minds. One is the idea of a long-term relationship while the other is just hitting the sheets.
As they are more open to the idea of hookup and casual fling, they don’t tend to go the road of long-term goals when it comes to dating. Meanwhile, they have also been introduced to platonic relationships, which has brought a different vision of the dating world. This generation looks for flings more than they look for potential partners.
4. Fearless attitude
Though putting yourself out there in the dating world can be a little scary, Gen Zeers have a fearless attitude in their love life. They don’t hesitate to communicate about the things they want in the partner of their life.
It can be the first text or the first date, they are confident in their desire. This does not make them high-maintenance but saves time and effort for both of them.
3. Using dating apps
With the rising popularity of dating apps since 2010, many Generation Z adapts to the new idea of meeting their potential partner. Meanwhile, some Gen Zeers almost grew up with dating apps their whole life.
The idea of dating for them is just swiping left or right looking at a person’s bio and pictures. Where Boomers went to clubs or parties to meet new people, for these generations have it in their hands.
2. Flirting online
As the idea of meeting people online is so popular, they flirt on social media. Before knowing or meeting people in real life, the first slide in a person’s DM is to communicate.
This not only saves you from the awkwardness of the first meeting but also helps to know how the person is. As the communication is just a tap away, sliding on DM’s or messaging people online is more common than meeting them in real life. Snapchat is hugely popular among them for sending flirtatious pictures and messages.
1. Ghosting rather than giving closure
These generations hate confrontation with people. As meeting new people is so easy, they also tend to ghost them easily. Generation Z has described the new term “Ghosting” in the dating world.
Rather than giving explanations, they tend to block people on social media and ghost them from their life. As they carry an open-minded attitude, they find DTR conversation either heart-breaking or total commitment.
