(Photo by Christopher Jue/Getty Images)There's another new dating trend on the rise, but thankfully, dawn dating isn't cruel like ghosting, breadcrumbing, and love bombing. Dawn dating is simply the act of going on a date in the morning.
While this might not seem like the most romantic time of day to meet a potential love interest, research shows a lot of singles are into it. The dating app Baddo surveyed 1,000 of their users and found:
- 51% have been on a morning date recently or would like to go on one.
- 71% of the singles polled would be impressed if someone asked them to go on a date in the morning.
- 43% say they like the fact that there’s no expectation to drink alcohol on the date.
- A third prefer a morning date because they don’t have to sacrifice their social life or change evening plans with friends to go.
- 34% say they’d like an early date because they feel more energized then.
- And 37% of singles surveyed feel like they got to know their morning date on a deeper level.
Eva, a dawn dating convert, says she was a little surprised when someone she was chatting with suggested meeting before work one Friday. "At first, I found the idea a little daunting," she admits, but she agreed to meet him for coffee at 8 am and a quick walk around a park. "We chatted as we would on an evening date, but it just felt so relaxed," Eva says. "And it was nice to know that alcohol wasn't clouding any impression I'd get of him."
What are your thoughts on dawn dating? None of the morning show could really be into this trend unless it was on Saturdays or Sundays. We have a feeling most people wouldn't want to meet before we have to be at work! Tweet us! @theMRLshow
