As the final month of 2024 swipes by, Tinder invited us to toast to a year of bold dating trends while offering an exciting glimpse into what’s ahead for 2025. Held at the chic Jeans restaurant in NYC, the event was an unforgettable celebration of love, connection, and modern romance, featuring romantic red hues, a shimmering disco ball, and delicious bites and cocktails that set the perfect tone for an evening full of charm and excitement.
Inside, guests mingled, sharing laughs and soaking up insightful gems from the fabulous Devyn Simone. The vibe was electric, literally, as the dance floor came alive with moves like the Electric Slide and retro beats that kept the energy high throughout the night.
The playful spirit of the evening extended to the photo booth, where attendees captured memories, and the charm station, where they created personalized keepsakes. It was the perfect combination of fun and flirtation, proving once again that connection thrives in a joyful atmosphere.
Tinder’s Year in Swipe™ spotlighted 2024’s top dating trends:
- Loud Looking: Owning your preferences unapologetically.
- Nano-ships: Finding meaning in fleeting connections.
- Kiss-met: Embracing serendipitous moments of connection.
As 2024 winds down, singles are stepping into 2025 with fresh perspectives and purpose, saying goodbye to the days of situationships and hello to meaningful, authentic connections.
But if you’re looking to score a second date, beware of the top dating icks for 2025: bad hygiene (50%), rudeness (44%), and oversharing about your ex (34%) are deal-breakers you don’t want to ignore.
To help singles navigate the dating scene with confidence, Tinder introduced the Year in Swipe Vision Board. This interactive tool not only highlights the dating wins of 2024 but also inspires users to set intentional, meaningful goals for the year ahead bringing a mix of authenticity, fun, and purpose to their search for connection.
Tinder’s New York event captured it all: love, trends, and the exciting promise of what’s next. Here’s to swiping boldly into 2025 because the best connections are yet to come!
