This morning in Studio 97, Sean Kelly, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe, RSW talking about these changes and what to look for in 2025.
People, especially Gen Z and millennials, are setting boundaries and prioritizing emotional compatibility. In a recent survey from the online dating site Bumble, it revealed that 64% of women are “refusing to settle” and are being upfront about their needs from the beginning.
Another trend for 2025 is the idea of “micro-mance.”
Micro-mance emphasizes that romance doesn’t have to be extravagant—it’s about showing someone they’re seen and valued in the little moments. This is a stark contrast to the “big romantic gestures” idealized in past decades.
