According to Tinder’s 2023 Year In Swipe report, a new dating trend has emerged that redefines traditional dating norms. “Not Attached To an Outcome,” or “NATO” dating, is an approach where individuals focus on enjoying the present moment and the process of getting to know a potential partner without placing excessive pressure on the future trajectory of a relationship.

It's called the NATO dating trend because it maps to the military strategy.
Yeah, this tracks.
