Dating Trend 'Winter Coating' Is Real a New Survey Shows WhyA recent survey from dating app Flirtini shows 33.1% of people say they would continue to date someone they were "not really into" during the holidays to not be alone SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Contrary to every Hallmark holiday movie ever, couples are more likely to break up than get engaged at the end of the year. According to a new survey from dating app Flirtini, the pressures of dating during the holiday season weigh heavily on daters' minds and frequently cause relationships to end entirely. An overwhelming 61.2% of online daters find it more difficult to date during the holidays. Among the reasons why are pressure to invite people they're dating to holiday gatherings (50.6%), feeling rushed to commit (45.9%), and anxiety about gift-giving (40.4%). "The holidays can bring up a lot of emotions and challenges for new couples," said dating expert Yue Xu. "The most important thing to remember is that your relationship has its own timeline; it just so happens to coincide with the holidays, but it should not change the course of your organic progression. Be honest with the person you're seeing — have real conversations about what this time of the year brings up for you and how it may impact your relationship. This kind of real talk will only bring you closer!" Survey Highlights:
Despite the challenges of dating during the holidays, some respondents were even more fearful of being alone. A whopping 58.7% of men either would or would consider dating someone they weren't really into during the holidays so as to avoid celebrating solo. Women were less concerned about being single, with 60% reporting that they would not date someone they weren't really into just to avoid it.
