The latest research from Bumble found that almost half of single people around the world are looking to “reset” their dating lives, with many looking to apply pandemic behaviours in a positive way.
The new trends that have been coined by the women-first app include “fast-forwarding”, “explori-dating”, “consciously single”, “dry dating”, and “power PDA”.
