A shift in the dating world is taking place. With diminished interest in dating apps and a recent boom in speed dating events. Young people are increasingly seeking out in-person events to meet partners, per a June report from event management platform Eventbrite. “This ongoing trend speaks to a broader societal shift where people are craving genuine connections and meaningful experiences tailored to their interests,” Eventbrite said in the report released on Thursday. Attendance at dating and singles events on Eventbrite increased 42% from 2022 to 2023. From May 2023 to April 2024, the platform saw more than 1.5 million searches for dating and singles events.
