As society takes way too much time focusing on the world of dating, yet another trend has emerged that has potential couples enamored: dating at dawn.
Basically, more singles are going on dates in the morning rather than in the afternoon or evening.
According to The Independent, the new trend is called "dawn dating," and 71% of single people would be impressed if someone asked them to go on a date in the morning.
A 26-year-old woman named Eva, 26 says that someone she was chatting to suggested meeting before work one Friday.
She said, "At first I found the idea a little daunting, though it was clear he was into me if he wanted to see me first thing. I said yes and we ended up having a really nice time. We met at about 8am for a coffee and a quick walk around our local park. We chatted as we would on an evening date, but it just felt so relaxed, and it was nice to know that alcohol wasn't clouding any impression I'd get of him."
Natasha Briefel, marketing director at Badoo UK, said that the "dating at dawn" trend marks a major shift in the contemporary dating landscape.
She said, "For a long time, dates have been reserved for the evening, but we're seeing a real shift in how we date now, and 'dawn dating' looks to be the latest way singletons are making connections. We believe dating should be exciting, and about having fun, and what better way to do that than switching up your dating routine. So whoever you're chatting to at the moment, try suggesting your next date be a morning one – whether it's before work to grab a coffee, a walk first thing on a Saturday, or kicking off your Sunday with a yoga class together. You'll wonder why 'dawn dating' wasn't part of your routine before."
