Dating in 2020 has been wild, but singles are looking forward to things being less challenging. But before you go thinking 2021 is going to be easy street, buckle-up, because if the dating app Happn’s predictions are correct, things are going to be an all-new kind of weird. They’ve just released their list of dating personalities to watch out for in the year ahead and it’s looking like a lot of red flags ahead.
- The Vaccindater. And you thought someone asking for your digits was forward. Get ready for people to straight up ask you for medical records before your first date. More specifically, 2021 will be filled with “Vaccindaters” who want to know if you’ve gotten the vaccine before you two get together. How forward of them to think you want to be closer than six feet on your first night out together.
- The Masked Bandit. This one is essentially the new version of a ‘Butter Face.’ Happn’s prediction is that masks are here to stay and that they’ll continue to mess with our abilities to fall in love at first sight. Because at some point you’ll get the hots for someone until they pull theirs off to reveal they’re not as hot as their covering made you believe.
- The Pandamner. New name, same old games. A “pandemner” is someone who loves to flirt, will chat you up night and day from their quarantine bunker, but when you tell them you want to meet, they’re always “busy.” Be on the lookout for an increased number of singles who are bored with Netflix and turning to dating apps to fill their time.
- The Palate Cleanser Definition. While some folks have adapted to the new dating rules of 2020, others just took themselves off of the market this year. After all this time from dating, some will be a bit rusty and looking for an easy target to match with to settle their nerves and move on to the next. Avoid these “Palate Cleansers” at all costs. You don’t need to be anyone’s dating training wheels.
