Meeting people IRL just got easier. This time technology is helping us find connections beyond endless swiping. For the last few years, the dating world has been campaigning for new ways to date organically, ditch dating apps, and meet people in real life.

The aisles are laid, and flowers are blooming, ready for brides and grooms to cascade down in harmonious bliss. Wedding season is creeping up behind us, like the ghosts of our past dates.

Anything less than shocking, a new Gen Z word has risen, again, from the TikTok algorithm. Rizz, the pop culture word of the moment, is popping up on our group texts, social media, and bar scene. After its induction into my orbit through friends, the word found its way to me a few days later in no other place but Los Angeles… Since before my own rizzing, the Gen Z word has taken alternative meanings. But according to its creator, Kai Cenat, NYC Twitch, and Youtuber, the true meaning of rizz has gotten lost in the sauce of TikTok.

DATING TIPS - Published by The City of Dating

It’s no secret daters have been inundated with dating apps over the past few years. Since the turn of society in 2020, the art of dating online became increasingly popular. Yet, as the world is healing, our desire to live only on the apps is dying. IRL connections came back to challenge the Hinge monster competing for the dater’s love.

MENTAL WELLNESS - Published by The City of Dating

Our minds make it too easy to drift into the future of our potential relationships. Once our feelings for someone bubble inside us, the carbonation reaches our brains, spurting new ideas and thoughts. The excitement of someone new is one that should be felt.
