Dating app Plenty of Fish just released their annual list of the Top Dating Trends for the year ahead.

· ChemRIZZtry: Catching unexpected feelings for someone you didn’t think you’d be into because they have undeniable charisma.

· Love-loreing: a.k.a. “dating for the plot”. It means saying yes to experiences just to see what happens.

· Curveball-crushing: Connecting with someone outside their usual “type”.

· Truecasting: Forgetting the filters and facades and showing up on apps and for dates as your true authentic self.

· Status-flexing: Situationships are out and defining the relationship is IN. Status-flexing is proudly labeling your status, whether “dating”, “exclusive”, or full-on “boyfriend/girlfriend”.
