The TikTok trend, “Casual Things We Did Before Dating,” has taken over the social media platform, with couples sharing the cute but unconventional things they did before becoming an item. Using Chappell Roan’s 2022 song “Casual,” TikTokers revealed heartwarming moments, such as immediately getting into a relationship after knowing each other for a short period of time. While most people would think it’s not wise to commit to someone with such little knowledge about them, these couples took a chance on luck and scored BIG!
What makes this trend unique is that it reminds us that true relationships don’t always start off casually. Currently, there’s a mindset within society that relationships should start slow as a casual encounter or a “situationship.” However, this trend challenges the idea that slow-burns are the best way to build a long-lasting relationship. Instead, it highlights the importance of knowing what you want out of a person and having intention when dating.
For many couples featured in this trend, their road to romance was met with small but meaningful moments that led to happiness, showing that you can fall in love as soon as you lay eyes on someone. Ultimately, the “casual thing we did before dating” trend reveals the beauty in intentional connections that can grow into something solid.
