Indian Daters Embrace 'Sunset Clause' for Intentional Love in 2026

• Indian daters are increasingly adopting a 'sunset clause' approach, setting time limits (6 months to 1 year) for dating app usage to prioritize outcomes.
• A QuackQuack survey of 7,583 users (22-35) found 37% of daters use a sunset clause, indicating a shift towards intentional dating.
• This trend leads to faster, more meaningful matches (28% respondents) as users become more focused and clear about expectations.
• Daters prioritize practical compatibility factors like career rhythm, ambition alignment, and work-life balance (41% respondents).
• Shared nostalgia (1990s/2000s pop culture) and regular connection reviews are also emerging trends in intentional dating.

Why It Matters: Indian daters are adopting time-bound, intentional strategies like the 'sunset clause' for more meaningful connections.
