Indian Daters Ditch Casual Flings, Seek Serious Connections as New Year Nears: Survey

  • QuackQuack survey reveals Indian daters are shifting from casual matches to intentional connections as 2025 ends.
  • 9746 users (22-35) across Tier 1, 2, 3 cities show a trend of re-evaluating choices and seeking "the right one."
  • "Resolutionary Dating" sees 44% rethinking past choices; 3 in 5 refuse to settle, focusing on conscious, high-effort matches.
  • Many daters (3 in 5 from Tier 1 & 2) are revisiting old chats ("chat autopsy") to improve future conversational skills after ghosting or situationships.
  • Year-end "Plus One Panic" due to wedding season affects 27% women and 31% men (above 26), though some find it brings clarity and bolder approaches.

Why It Matters: Indian daters are moving beyond casual flings, seeking intentional, serious connections by year-end.
