Relationships are tested by many factors, but flooded roads, power cuts, and cancelled dates reveal whether a connection is truly meant to last long-term. 

To find out how the monsoon is proving to be an unexpected new dating filter for young singles, Indian dating app, QuackQuack, asked 9,583 users to share their experiences. While a smooth and planned date and uninterrupted interaction allow people to showcase their polished version, the rainy season introduces unpredictability and, with it, the unfiltered and raw side of people when they are constantly tested. The survey highlighted that 38 per cent of daters say the monsoon makes it harder for their matches to be performative and curative in their dating style.
