According to the study results, members of Generation Z openly express their ideals and are determined to pursue their desires when it comes to romance, breaking old dating standards and questioning outdated and gendered relationship expectations.
In India, Gen Z daters approach love with clarity, emotional maturity, and radical honesty. The survey reveals the following, highlighting some of the important elements of Generation Z’s dating pattern.
Is this the selfish generation? No, Generation Z in India is just honest. Dating goals for Generation Z are open, conscious, and deliberate. They are not afraid to challenge the current quo and date on their own terms and deadlines, which is refreshing.
Where is Generation Z headed?
As Generation Z makes more values-based dating decisions, they emphasize putting themselves first, setting boundaries, and expressing their true selves. It’s no surprise that Gen Z considers being honest and transparent about dating intentions (52%) to be the biggest dating red flag.
In fact, 21% of Gen Z respondents said that disagreeing politically with their partners is a red flag for dating, and 19% won’t date someone who isn’t an LGBTQ+ ally. Open Casting (the inverse of ‘type-casting’), the narrow search for our physical ‘type’ does not benefit Generation Z, so it’s time to abandon the tall, dark and attractive prerequisites.
Open casting, the opposite of typecasting, refers to how people are now more open to anyone they contemplate dating outside of their type. 38% of Gen Z respondents feel that love comes in various shapes and sizes, implying that they are willing to date outside of their “type”, which is most significant for women (41%) than for men (37%).

According to the survey, members of Generation Z are not afraid to deviate from outdated social conventions and are willing to wait for a spouse who knows and shares their values and ideas. In fact, 51% of Indian Gen Z respondents want someone to help them or grow with them.
One-third (29%) of Indian Gen Z respondents feel that there are no set timelines for marriage and that they will get married when they are ready. 19% of Indian Gen Z respondents say they don’t believe in typical phases of a relationship and will date someone right away if it feels right to them. Generation Z women are very deliberate about who and how they want to date.
46% of Generation Z women are no longer willing to tolerate toxic behavior, indicating that they reject social indoctrination. While looking for a relationship, more than half of Gen Z women (55.5%) prioritize setting emotional and physical boundaries.
