Dating app, QuackQuack`s, latest study on GenZ dating patterns and tendencies found that 47 per cent of GenZ daters prefer taking a slow-paced approach, calling it ‘simmer dating.’ This trend focuses on gradual buildup and emphasises patience while finding a partner. “Simmer dating is a slow-paced journey towards getting to know each other and exploring the connection, instead of rushing the process of commitment and exclusivity. It`s about letting the relationship grow organically, and focuses on attracting a healthy partner,” explains the relationship coach Dhana Supriya Chheda.
Preethi, a 25-year-old user of QuackQuack, feels that she needs time to get to know her matches. She explains, “I need to reach a level where we have moved on to deeper and what would otherwise be a sensitive conversation like lifestyle choices, religion, politics, etc. You can`t rush dating, and you can`t commit without knowing where the person stands. Taking it slow is the only way to evaluate whether your ideals and values align with your match.”
