Well, we have heard and seen a lot of dating trends over the past few years. From ghosting to monkey-barring to shrekking, the list is long. But recently, another new dating trend is making waves, and this time it’s actually scary. The term ‘Graveyard Dating’ is creating a lot of buzz among Gen-Z, and trust us, it’s just like it sounds! Want to know what it is? Read on!

What Is The New Trend, ‘Graveyard Dating’?

Imagine you are going out on a date, but instead of a fancy cafe or a restaurant, you are heading to the graveyard for dates? Spooky enough, right? Well, we just hope you don’t get ghosted there. As per a report by India Today, ‘Graveyard Dating‘ is very much trending, and it’s uncanny how several modern-age daters are actually looking forward to the idea. But the main question is, why are people going there? Privacy, peace and connection? As bizarre as it sounds, people are choosing graveyards because there’s silence, no public, no loud music, just an escape from everyday chaos and crowded spaces.

Well, as reported by Vogue India, another reason why people are choosing graveyards is their brooding charm of ruins and a touch of greenery that often sets the mood for conversations. It’s the stillness of the place that tends to open up about life, fears, dreams and other important stuff. We feel it’s still creepy because, imagine the deeply entrenched notions of the dead walking the earth after sunset.

Are There Any Rules Of Graveyard Dating?

We are not really sure about the REAL rules of Graveyard Dating, but we hope that all those who are going for it don’t die, obviously, and don’t get ghosted there! (quite literally).

Graveyards can be isolated, scary and unfamiliar. Share your location with someone you trust, keep your phone charged, and carry pepper spray just in case. Romantic spontaneity is great, but basic safety is also important. Not everyone is comfortable with the idea, even if they agree to it. One of the most important rules you should follow is not to touch anything there, because it’s a place for mourning and memories.
