Bumble is one of the world’s leading dating apps, and they know exactly what the dating scene has in store for us in 2024. From cross-generational relationships to focusing on dating people with emotional intimacy and shared values, Bumble unveiled the list of dating trends we’ll be seeing everywhere next year.

Bumble conducted a survey that included over 25,000 people using their app worldwide to offer an insight into what to expect from our dating lives in 2024.

“Daters are looking at 2024 as the year of self. They’re rejecting the constant quest for perfection, discarding outdated timelines, and placing more value on emotional vulnerability and shared priorities,” reads Bumble’s press release.

The first trend to make it to Bumble’s list sees the app’s users widening their age range filters, with 63% of people claiming age is not a defining factor when dating. Emotional intimacy is more important than ever to women on Bumble, with 78% saying their partner has to have an understanding of both emotional and physical intimacy.

As for the other trends that made it to Bumble’s list for 2024, engagement in social causes, rejection to seek constant self-improvement, and open-hearted masculinity are also having a moment on this dating app. Bumble users are also rejecting dating milestones, embracing quality over quantity, and seeking partners who share their love of sports.

Dating is difficult and during the pandemic, it’s almost impossible. While some dates are great, others end terribly. What’s worse is finding out your new beau is sleeping around with other people behind your back. Trust us—it happens. In fact, it’s so common that it’s gotten a name—roaching. So, what’s roaching?

The term comes from how cockroaches hide in shelves and multiply. The same applies to a partner who has many hidden partners and is sleeping around. Just like it’s gross to find one of those bugs in your home and then seeing tons of them, the same applies to finding out your partner has many partners.

So, how do you know when you’re being roached? Signs include they don’t make or keep plans, they aren’t trying to be serious, they keep you at a distance, or they tell you they want it to be casual. While all of these things stink, they’re tell-tale signs you’re being roached.

If you find out you’re being roached, it’s not a be-all-end-all. Maybe you didn’t talk about being exclusive, which means they aren’t actually breaking rules. The issue arises when they’re being dishonest or trying to hide things. We can’t stress enough how important it is to discuss your sexual history and your partner’s sexual history together. It’s vital to your safety and health, especially during COVID.

Dating is not easy, especially in today’s world. We’re currently unable to go out as much as we’d want and for those who want to meet new people, online dating is more important than ever. You already know about catfishing, an activity where someone lies about their appearance and identity in order to gain someone’s attention and trust. But there’s a new phenomenon you should look out for—wokefishing.

Wokefishing happens when someone pretends to be more progressive and open-minded than they really are. It can be done intentionally, in order to attract people with a certain way of thinking, or unintentionally, due to not understanding the real meaning of being woke. Not being honest about personal beliefs can be very misleading and potentially dangerous if the person who’s been lied to ends up falling for someone who does this.

It’s important to be aware of this so you can recognize it when the first signs appear. When you like someone, it’s easy to ignore the red flags until it gets too late. If you’re extra careful about not being “wokefished” you’ll be able to tell early on if someone’s trying to do that to you.
