Looking for a spark?

Festive moments like these have a special energy, don’t they? The emotion is so high, so pure, that all self-consciousness fades away. Just one glance can ignite something special. It’s the kind of romance where words aren’t necessary – the eyes speak. No wonder today’s youth are so drawn to looking for potential partners during these events. You don’t have to overthink or plan; just invite your crush to a Garba night or a Ganpati celebration or who knows, you might just meet ‘the one’ right there.

The survey says that 30% of Gen Z look for partners during festivals

As festivals like Navratri and Ganesh Utsav came to an end, popular dating app Tinder released a survey revealing new trends in first date preferences among young singles. It’s no longer traditional coffee or movie dates; instead, many young people are now opting for festivals instead of parties as a first date scene. Amazing, right? According to the survey, singles are increasingly choosing cultural celebrations as the venue for their first face-to-face meetings.

The survey found that 43% of Gen Z in India prefer festivals and cultural events as the best choice for a first date. These lively gatherings offer a fun, low-pressure environment that makes it easy to connect. Interestingly, around 30% of Gen Z are also actively looking for potential partners during these events, making the festive season a hot spot for new relationships.

Even without the survey revealing these trends, many people have subtly shared similar sentiments on their social media profiles. They have expressed how they look forward to festivals to introduce their partners to the family or even find a potential partner. You can see for yourself – it’s a growing trend!

Or if it’s not during festivals, haven’t you noticed how Bollywood often shows leads who are at someone else’s wedding? There are many examples, but the one that comes to mind right now is Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
