In today’s swipe-right dating world, finding a relationship that lasts forever is no less than a dream. Amidst the options available, even if you find the right person it takes a lot of effort to make that relationship work and last. We spoke to Ruchi Ruh, Relationship Expert, at Bumble India to understand the love languages that hold importance in making a relationship last.
Ruchi Ruh, Relationship Expert, at Bumble India, says, “Our recent insights into dating
behaviours among Indian singles reveal fascinating trends about what people prioritise in
Relationships.”
For instance, 81% of Indians emphasise shared values like honesty, integrity, and
empathy as crucial for compatibility. The data also shows that pop culture and entertainment are
powerful bonding tools. For 3 in 4 people, binge-watching or movie marathons make for
excellent dates, and enjoy movie post-mortems as part of their connection-building. These
experiences create shared moments that can deepen intimacy and understanding.”
She also highlighted that as we navigate these evolving dynamics, the essence of love remains timeless: it’s about finding someone who speaks your love language, whether through shared passions, mutual care, or the simple joy of being together.
