A new social media trend known as the August Dating Theory is going viral, claiming that August is the ultimate make-or-break month for relationships.

According to the trend, carefree summer romances either become serious commitments or quietly come to an end as people return to their everyday routines. The theory also suggests that ex-partners often reappear during this period, seeking familiarity and emotional comfort before autumn begins.

Following the viral June Dating Theory, which predicted unexpected romantic twists, the August theory shifts the focus to reality checks, emotional stability, and long-term relationship decisions.

August Dating Theory Goes Viral | Why Relationships Face a Make-or-Break Moment

Dozens of young singles gathered this week to meet potential marriage partners in Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore, the first attempt by a UK-based matrimonial app to help people find spouses in person in the conservative Islamic country.

Typically, marriages in Pakistan are arranged by parents who look for suitable matches for their children from within their communities or the extended family. Dating apps are generally stigmatised and gender segregation socially and at work remains common in the country of 240 million people.

The Lahore event was organised by Muzz, formerly Muzzmatch, which says its app is based on Islamic etiquette. The app is restricted to Muslim users, and, in a nod to traditional values, gives the option of blurring pictures except for specific matches and allows for chaperones to oversee meetings.

Other smaller events are also emerging in the country to challenge traditional matchmaking norms. Despite criticism online in the past for the app, the Muzz event was attended by about 100 people 
Aimen, a 31-year-old woman who did not want to be further identified, said she used the app on the recommendation of her U.S.-based brother.

"I used the app for two weeks, but then I saw an ad for this event and thought, why not meet people in person?" she told Reuters. She said that her mother would have accompanied her as a chaperone but couldn't attend because of ill-health.

Muzz, launched in 2015 in the Britain, which also has a sizeable Muslim population, has over 1.5 million users in Pakistan, its second-largest market after Morocco.

Moaz, a 27-year-old man, said he has been using Muzz for a year and that he was hopeful of finding a wife through the app. "I do get matches, but they have different priorities," he said adding that girls on the app expect him to involve his parents from the beginning.

"That is not (immediately) possible," he said, stressing the need of getting to know someone before taking the next big step.

Annie's Matchmaking Party, another Lahore event last week, used an algorithm to match 20 young professionals after a selection process and invited them to the meet.

Noor ul Ain Choudhary, the 30-year-old organizer, faced criticism online that her event promoted a "hookup culture". She countered that it aimed to provide a safe space for singles to meet and connect. "In Pakistan, we've had two options: biased arranged marriages or time-consuming dating apps with no guarantees. Safety during meetings is also a concern," she said.

Abdullah Ahmed, 22, was bullish about in person events and said he was convinced he may have found his perfect match at the Muzz gathering. "The highlight was meeting an amazing girl," he said, beaming with excitement, adding that they instantly clicked and swapped social media handles.

"We're both Marvel fans! We're already planning to catch the new Deadpool &amp; Wolverine together," he said.

Pakistani singles defy tradition, search for spouses in person

As technology advances, dating is no longer limited to finding a partner at a party or through a mutual connection. Online dating has gained momentum in the past decade, allowing people to choose a romantic partner sitting across time zones by swiping right.&nbsp;

According to Statista, the online dating market in India is expected to reach US $69.90 million in 2024. As the trend of finding partners through apps and websites continues, it is imperative to consider the issues it may bring.&nbsp;

To understand the downsides of this emerging trend of online dating, WION spoke to an expert, Kamna Chibber, Head of Department, Mental Health &amp; Behavioural Sciences, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram.

Asked whether online dating culture is toxic, Chibber said, "It cannot be called toxic in itself. The approach individuals adopt can make it toxic, which then relates to a person's conduct in how they date".

New and emerging terminology in the online dating arena

Modern relationships come with new ways to describe each phase of your dating journey. With the emergence of online dating platforms, there are no longer only three phases in the journey- dating, engaged and married. It is much more complicated than that.&nbsp;

Ghosting&nbsp; 
It is the act of a person completely ignoring his/her partner abruptly. The person won't reply to calls or texts and vanishes like a ghost, hence the name. This adversely impacts the person who gets 'ghosted', and they may begin to blame themselves.&nbsp;

Zombieing&nbsp; 
Zombieing occurs after ghosting when a person comes back to rekindle the relationship with the person they ghosted before. The person tries to woo the partner by justifying their reason for ghosting and convincing them that they are a changed person now.&nbsp;

Situationship&nbsp; 
One of the most popular terms in modern relationships is sitautionships. It involves people getting romantically involved out of convenience. To describe it in easier terms, it is not as serious as relationships and does not require that level of commitment. &nbsp;

These are a few emerging trends in the online dating era that govern modern relationships.&nbsp;

Impact of online dating on mental health&nbsp;

Online dating is a tool, and using it efficiently or misusing it depends on the user. "There is no direct link to a specific clinical condition. Multiple factors come together to precipitate a clinical condition or disorder. Directly linking online dating experiences to an illness is incorrect," Kamna Chibber said.&nbsp;

Asked whether factors like age, gender, and sexual orientation play into the experiences of toxic online dating Chibber said, "Online dating can provide individuals anonymity and the ability to disappear or ghost or block people. People can misrepresent their age, gender, &nbsp;sexual preferences and other realities of their life unless there are guardrails built into the system. As a result, there can be difficult or toxic experiences that users of online dating can be vulnerable to."&nbsp;

Another downside associated with the excessive use of dating apps is 'dating app burnout'. A recent survey revealed that on average a user spends 51 minutes on dating apps. Men spend less than 49 minutes a day while women spend around 52 minutes daily.&nbsp;

Scrolling mindlessly on dating platforms can be mentally exhausting. There is always pressure from within to appear 'interesting' to all your potential matches. Additionally, if a connection doesn't pan out,&nbsp;self-doubt begins to kick in and the vicious cycle of overthinking and criticising oneself begins.&nbsp;

Effective ways to deal with online dating so that it doesn't affect you adversely&nbsp;

When asked how online dating differs from traditional dating in terms of psychological impact, Chibber said, "The differences relate to the availability of potential partners and the way individuals might invest in relationships. From a psychological standpoint if the relational quality is good then the impact would not be different for either new or traditional ways of dating."&nbsp;

On how to effectively deal with the online dating culture, Chibber has a few words of advice,&nbsp;"Have clarity of what you are seeking from a dating relationship. Be particular about verifying facts. Walk away when you see red flags. Take responsibility for your own behaviour. Be authentic and honest from your side," she said.

Online dating destroying your mental health? Know these toxic trends and swipe left

Dating can be hard and Gen Z seems to be realising it the hard way. The digital world has made dating extremely easy, with matches available at the tip of your fingertips. While it might appear charming at first, like a la la land of relationships, everything is not hunky-dory. Youngsters seem to have realised how exhausting it is to date, with the mental and emotional toll giving birth to the latest dating trend, Boysober.&nbsp;

Boysober involves staying away from dating for a year, mostly in your twenties. A female American comedian named Hope Woodard was the first to use the dating term. It went viral on TikTok among women who adopted the trend to reclaim their bodies and minds and now use the time for better things that give them peace. Hope says boysobering is a way to prevent toxic and meaningless relationships.

It is about “pausing, reflecting and reprioritizing, and not to gain male approval", Hope adds.&nbsp;

<h2>Mansober among older adults</h2>

Also known as "Mansober", the dating trend aims at avoiding things like mansplaining and gaslighting.&nbsp;

Being with the opposite sex is a desire that comes naturally to most youngsters. People look for a partner to share their joys and sorrows with. While we tend to mostly look at the love and romantic angle in any relationship, everything is not rosy when we are in one. Infidelity, microcheating, situationship, benching, and all sorts of things emerge from it like a Pandora's Box. Being in a relationship or not is a personal choice but staying sane and happy amidst all this is a choice we must make.&nbsp;

<h2>Is it the same as celibacy?</h2>

Celibacy is a more religious term and pertains to purity, so Hope doesn't want people to confuse boysober with the former. It is simply a way to be more at peace without stressing over another person. It is a more of a mental health and self-care exercise since dating sucks out a lot from a person. It is also not gender-specific and Hope says all youngsters can practice it. &nbsp;“It encourages all young single people to take a break from not only dating and the situationships resulting from it but also from exes, toxic relationships and hook-ups. A boysober year gives space to reflect, heal, and focus on what one wants next,” Woodard told The Independent.

Pebbling: A dating trend inspired by penguins

The holiday season is the most cheerful time of the year. However, it also brings a lot of pressure. From buying gifts to hosting dinner, several chores keep couples busy, due to which they can lose their spark.

The holiday season is the most cheerful time of the year. However, it also brings a lot of pressure. From buying gifts to hosting dinner, several chores keep couples busy, due to which they can lose their spark. Experts have now coined a word for this feeling. Tinselling is when a couple struggling with their relationships get too swept up in seasonal sparkle over the holidays. Tina Wilson, a relationship expert and founder and CEO of Wingman, a free dating app that lets your friends pick your match, devised the term 'tinselling' to describe the emotion couples feel when they try to bury their true feelings amid the cosy-looking chaos of the holiday season. "The name draws inspiration from the shiny, cheerful veneer of tinsel, used to decorate during the festive season, covering what is beneath," the app creator recently told Tyla. According to Wilson, the hope of a Christmas miracle often distracts couples from addressing existing problems in their relationship. ALSO READ | French couple lose court battle over rare African Ngil mask worth $4.6mn During the holiday season, couples put on a facade of harmony and togetherness while ignoring the problems in their relationship. Couples deliberately distract themselves until the joy of Christmas fades away and the hard, cold light of the new year forces them to face reality and each other. Wilson warned people about the harmful impacts 'tinselling' has on a relationship. Nicole Sodoma, divorce attorney and the author of Please Don't Say You're Sorry, told The New York Post, "Tinselling is an easy way to get through the holidays by ignoring the signs telling you something is broken or not right for you in the relationship. So, why wait for the inevitable to happen?" Sodoma agreed that negligence doesn't bring peace in relationships. As soon as the clock strikes midnight, ending the holiday season, couples call it quits instead of fixing their relationships. Due to this, January has become the "divorce month." Sodoma advised couples who still have hope for a Christmas miracle to speak to their partner about how they feel instead of ignoring their issues. She said, "Maybe it's the children, the routine, or the fear of being alone. Whatever it is for you, being clear and candid with your partner about your feelings upfront may help to lay the groundwork for the new year." (With inputs from agencies)

According to 31 per cent of dating app users of QuackQuack from tier 1 and 2 cities, the holiday season and the start of the new year serve as harsh reminders of people's single status. Founder and CEO of QuackQuack, Ravi Mittal, said, "We found users specifically looking for a date to spend their Christmas and New Year's day with among the 24 million chats that were shared last month. Every year, we notice a rise in the number of user log-ins throughout this period, with the first weekend of the new year seeing the biggest number."

Homeward bound

The majority of the 27 per cent of users who were seen on the app talking to their matches about returning home for the holidays were working professionals.
