DALLAS, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Match released
findings from its first Summer of Love Survey to get
to the heart of what singles really want this summer. As things get
steamier, Match surveyed ~2K of its single users on what kind of
"hot" summer they're really looking to have.
Single and Ready to Mingle
- 70% are ready to put themselves out there as much as
possible this coming summer
- 69% feel more confident in who they are looking for
after the past year
- 40% feel more excited about the idea of meeting new
people through dating
- 52% are worried potential matches won't be looking for a
serious relationship over the next few months
Summer of Lovers?
- 71% want to be in a serious relationship this summer,
while only 7% don't
- 65% are not interested in hookups or casual sex;
while 35% said they are open to it
- Either way, 57% of singles confirmed they want to have
sex this summer
Vaccinated? That is the question
- 46% agreed that once vaccinated, they will be ready
to start dating IRL again
- 56% of people are somewhat or very concerned with a
date's vaccination status
"Heading into summer, singles are excited, feeling confident,
and want it all -- meaningful connections, love, and sex," says
Rachel DeAlto, Chief Dating Expert
for Match. "As singles are out there dating, safely, my biggest
piece of advice is take your match at their word. If someone says
they aren't interested in a relationship, believe them. So often
singles think they are going to be the one to change them. Sure, it
may happen in Hollywood, but there
are plenty of amazing people ready for a real relationship that you
can focus on instead."
Methodology
The study is based on the attitudes and behaviors of 1,850
single Match users, ages 18-60, and was fielded May 3-6, 2021.
