Many modern daters are seeking in-person meet-cutes over dating app connections, and you might be shocked by the settings they’re willing to explore. Like, for instance, funerals and cemeteries…

Yes, you read that right: a new survey from Hily Dating App found that 61% of Gen Z and 71% of Millennial daters would be open to going on a date with someone they met at a cemetery. 

What’s more, 55% of Gen Z and 65% of Millennial daters said they’d exchange contact info with someone they met at a funeral or memorial service, in hopes of setting up a future date.

It’s getting pretty brutal........
