Date different
Two women have their arms around each other, with various items collaged around them including a deconstructed bookshelf, a shark in an aquarium and an art bust.

Dinner and a movie is so 2022. In the year ahead, Gen Z will embark on a different kind of dating experience, opting for experiential outings such as bookshop nights, museum meet-cutes and aquarium adventures. Because who needs ‘dinner and movie’ when you have ‘bookshop and manatee’?
