Think about mastering the art of micromancing and appreciating the beauty of ordinary moments this Valentine’s Day.
With Valentine’s Day just a week away, singles and couples alike are looking for ways to add a spark to their love lives. At this time, several dating trends come in and out of fashion, influencing the ways couples view and experience relationships. Well now, a new dating trend is on the block. Dubbed Micromancing, this latest trend is a reminder that less can be more in love. It emphasises the power of small, intimate gestures over grand displays of affection.
Join us to learn what micromancing is all about and why the new dating trend is becoming the talk of the town.
What Is Micromancing?
Micromancing encourages couples to focus on the everyday moments that foster connection in a relationship. Instead of over-the-top displays of affection, this trend talks about appreciating the subtle nuances of love and finding joy in the simple things. This can be as simple as surprise coffee breaks, thoughtful texts, quick calls, dinner nights, and cosy movie nights.
Is Micromancing a Game-Changer?
In today’s fast-paced world, everyone is caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Here, micromancing encourages us to calm down and focus on nurturing relationships with small moments that bring us joy and connection.
Speaking on the same, dating app Bumble’s sex and relationships expert Shan Boodram noted that there is a pivotal change happening in the world this year, which was also reflected in Bumble’s 2025 Dating Trends. He said, “Women are being clear that they want more romance in their dating lives, regardless of the stage. However, they’re also embracing romance in less traditional forms like making a playlist, grabbing their partner coffee before work, and surprising them with their favourite candy after a long day—something the majority of singles agree how affection is expressed today,” as quoted by India Today.
Boodram added that over half (52%) of women globally identify as romantics and 37 percent say that a lack of romance has negatively impacted their dating experiences. Thus, highlighting why a more accessible and normalised romance is a top trend this year.
So, this Valentine’s Day, consider embracing the art of micromancing and cherishing the magic of everyday moments shared with your loved ones.
