Hinge Unveils a New Dating Concept to Boost Your Romantic Opportunities in 2025.

The dating season is in full swing, and the year 2025 is just around the corner. But what does the new year hold for our love lives? A popular dating app is promoting a concept called "Dating Forward." This proposal focuses on being intentional and thoughtful in dating behavior by avoiding accumulating matches without prior conversation, and instead taking the time to read people's profiles and engage with the content they offer.

The app’s Relationship Science Director emphasizes that the key is to prioritize quality over quantity. According to a recent survey conducted by the company, 47% of users say that their main goal for dating in 2025 is to go on more dates. However, as many users of these platforms know, the real challenge lies in turning matches into conversations, and then those chats into real-life dates. Not to mention what happens after connecting in person.

Here are the five recommendations the app proposes to carry out the "Dating Forward" concept in 2025:

1. Focus on the present: 73% of users admit to overthinking past dating experiences. They are encouraged to redirect their attention to the new experiences they can have.

2. Set dating goals: After spending considerable time on these apps, it’s helpful to think about what you really want to achieve. 42% of respondents feel it’s necessary to set clearer intentions regarding their dating objectives.

3. Prioritize quality matches over quantity: It’s essential to stop accumulating matches without the intention to converse. Taking time to assess each match before continuing to swipe through profiles is advised.

4. Meet in person as soon as possible: Many have experienced the frustration of becoming pen pals with someone who has no real interest in meeting in real life. Research from the app shows that three days of conversation is the ideal time to suggest a date.

5. Plan activity-based dates: Gone are the days of boring dates that feel like interviews. It’s preferable to organize meetups around enjoyable activities. Even if the date doesn’t turn out as expected, at least the activity was enjoyable. 31% of respondents believe planning dates around activities they are passionate about would help them stay focused on the purpose of dating.

With these tips, everyone is encouraged to pursue their love lives in a more intentional and fulfilling way.
