Gen Z Daters 18-29 - Dating Budgets & Financial Dealbreakers

Gen Z dating economics Hey! I'm currently working on an article examining the intersection of macroeconomics, inflation, and Gen Z dating dynamics. Recent data from Zelle shows that 84% of Gen Z and Millennial daters report that rising costs have impacted their dating lives, with 50% noting that financial compatibility has mattered more to them at times than romantic chemistry. I am looking to speak with Gen Z daters (ages 18–29) about there experience with dating in the context of these economic shifts/considerations, whether that means setting strict dating budgets, choosing free/low-cost activities, or navigating conversations around splitting costs and financial dealbreakers. If you are open to sharing your perspective for a brief chat, please feel free to send me a message or drop a comment below and I will follow up with you directly as well as provide some more information.
