A recent survey reveals that 93% of singles desire to be in a successful relationship, but they find dating challenging. Four behaviors that raise "red flags" were identified.

Although dating apps are often perceived as hindering long-term relationships, the majority of users claim that their primary objective when using apps such as Tinder or Hinge is to establish a romantic partnership.

According to a 2024 Tinder report, more than half of men, 53%, and women, 68%, say they want a relationship. Despite this, almost all users surveyed, 91% of men and 94% of women, found dating difficult.

What are the red flags that cause app users to cut short courtships?

Getting drunk on a first date

According to 2022 Hinge data, three out of four singles do not want to get drinks on a first date.

55% of survey respondents said that sober dates help them better understand the other person, while 45% prioritize their mental health by opting for these types of dates.

What should you do instead?

Approximately 17% of app users prefer to meet for coffee, while 11% would rather see a show or visit a museum, and 14% would rather go for a walk.

Being 'too into' Instagram

According to Hinge users, those who are overly fixated on Instagram or Snapchat may give off a self-absorbed vibe.

74% of people stated that they do not wish to date someone who is frequently using social networking apps.

It's best to keep the phone face down during a date.

Not knowing about politics or social issues

According to Tinder data, having knowledge about social and political issues is a significant advantage for daters.

A significant 75% of unattached individuals sought a partner who valued or prioritized social concerns.

Almost half of single people consider it a "deal breaker" if they discover their partner is not a voter.

While only 24% of users said they want to date someone who shares their political views, 46% said they would date someone with different political beliefs.

Bringing up trauma

According to Hinge's data, 93% of its users prioritize emotional vulnerability in potential partners over height or income.

The correct way to open up is to be honest and vulnerable, while the incorrect way is to hide behind a facade of falsehoods.

Perhaps after a few dates, you can delve into the history of relationships.

The wrong way is to bring up deep-rooted trauma too early.
