Deep dives

Chaos Singles Party: A new trend in dating

The Chaos Singles Party is a new trend in dating where single individuals invite a match from a dating app as their plus one to a house party. The concept gained popularity after a woman organized the first party on Valentine's Day and posted about it on TikTok. Since then, the parties have grown in size and popularity, with hundreds of single people attending the events. The parties provide a fun and casual environment for singles to meet and mingle.
