ABC dating: The latest trend that couples are hooked onto
What's the story
If 'Netflix and Chill' is how you still plan dates, then it's time to move on. ABC dating is the new trend that has Gen Z couples by the horns now.
The concept of ABC dating or alphabet dating has become hugely popular due to social media.
Simply put, partners take turns planning dates based on each letter of the alphabet.
Concept
What is ABC dating?
The practice of scheduling a string of events based on the letters of the English alphabet is known as ABC dating.
In addition to enticing couples to try new things together, alphabet dating also helps to rekindle romance and keep things exciting.
Alphabet dating is viral across TikTok and Instagram today, where couples share their date experiences either individually or as a curated list.
Benefits
Reasons behind increasing popularity of alphabet dating
Besides encouraging you and your partner to do new things, alphabet dating can also help you maintain a vibrant and engaging relationship.
Many couples have the habit of returning to the same dates repeatedly - which primarily involves a dinner, a movie, or a coffee date.
Alphabet dating helps you break your old dating habits while challenging you to execute something new together.
List
Creating a list
To follow the trend, make a list of suitable dates using the alphabet (from A to Z) as your inspiration.
For instance, you might start with an archery or an arcade date, then go on to a bowling or a beach date. Similarly, list dating ideas till the letter Z.
Once you complete your Z-date, you may start over.
Getting started
How to get started
As a first step, decide if you want to schedule the dates together or alternately.
Get creative with your date ideas. For tricky letters like 'X' and 'Z,' consider using words that contain these letters, like "explore" for 'X' or arrange a "bazaar" outing or a "gazal" night for 'Z.'
Some letters may pose planning challenges; be flexible and adapt your plans as needed.
