This article discusses the findings of Hinge's 2023 LGBTQIA+ DATE report, which provides insights and advice on queer dating.
Key takeaways:
1. Lack of communication is the top dating obstacle the LGBTQIA+ community has faced in the past year.
2. Bisexual people are three times more likely to have never had a queer dating experience and encounter dating FOE – “fear of exploration.”
3. Trans people intentionally communicate early to ensure their date’s goals are aligned with theirs.
Counter arguments:
1. Some LGBTQIA+ daters may not be comfortable with transparency and open communication.
2. Some daters may not be willing to discuss their relationship expectations before the first date.
