Men are getting introspective about gender roles. (In fact, 14% of respondents have explored the idea of becoming a digital nomad!) One-third (33%) of daters are now more open to relationships with people who are not in their current city. This has gotten easier as many companies allow remote work-and the freedom to work from anywhere has allowed single people to more seriously consider longer distance or international relationships. Post-COVID lockdowns, people are still prioritizing traveling and exploring the world. That might be because 52% of people are actively creating more space for breaks and rest in their lives, and 54% care more about their partner’s work/life balance than they do their partner’s career status. Almost half (49%) of respondents are prioritizing their own work/life balance, and 13% will no longer date someone who has a very demanding job. The balance between work, life, and relationships will be more important to daters in 2023. Those boundaries considered their emotional needs (63%), allowed them to be more intentional about how they put themselves out there (59%), and protected them from overcommitting socially (53%). More than half (52%) of respondents set more boundaries over the past year. Single people are taking control of their dating lives by establishing what does and doesn’t work for them in a connection. Even further, 63% of daters are now looking for emotional maturity before physical looks. More than one third of people (38%) are now more open to dating beyond their typical physical type, and 28% are less concerned about dating the type of person that others expect. What daters are looking for in a match in 2023 will (literally) look different from what they were looking for in 2022. Even better, the vast majority (70%) are feeling positive about the romance that lies ahead in 2023. Daters are getting better about articulating what they do and don’t want from their matches, challenging the status quo, and connecting on their own terms. Their insights helped us figure out what you can expect to see in your dating life next year-and there’s a lot to look forward to. To answer those questions, Bumble conducted a survey* of over 10,000 daters using our app around the world. How can single people prepare for a new year of dating? And what should they expect? As we wrap up 2022, Bumble is looking ahead to what dating will look like in 2023.
