What's Dating Like In 2024?

Here's some swipe right moments that caught Cosmo intern Serchen Chokyi off guard.

Let’s face it, swiping through dating apps has become the modern-day obsession for many! It’s like we’re part of a secret society of serial daters, constantly making solemn vows to break free, yet always sneaking back to the apps like it is our not-so-secret rendezvous spot!

Recently, I found myself diving into a dating spree, all in the name of Cosmopolitan!

With Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder by my side, I specified my preference for outdoor activity dates in Delhi. Despite that, many responses leaned towards “indoor” activities (IYKWIM). Settling on a date from Bumble, I finally ventured into my first experiential date.

VICTIM 1:

After conversing for a few days and sharing details about all our favourites, the “Monday guy” surprised me by showing up in the middle of a jam-packed Connaught Place with peach roses in his hands.

The thing about “Monday guy” was that he’d only show up on the first day of the week (it’s when he would get an off from his clothing business).

Dressed in a slightly blood-stained white shirt, he had an infectious smile that could light up any room he’d walk into. Playfully, I asked if he’d murdered someone on the way, to which he simply replied that he had come from the hospital after taking a cat to the clinic following an accident. After that slight tug on my heart, we drove around Connaught Place, and I even took to the wheel. My first time driving in Delhi was both chaotic and oddly nostalgic, with a hint of romance in the air.
