We have a blast going over the top new dating trends of 2026 as so many people continue to look for their soulmates.  While the names of these trends may be clever and new, think “Zip Coding” and “Chalance”, the concepts have been around forever!  We ask, are you looking for a “golden retriever boyfriend” or how about a “black cat” girlfriend?  Bottom line, relationships are hard,  and while labels might make us feel seen, we all want the same thing… to find our person.
