Daters

/ˈdeɪtərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of dater; multiple people who go on dates or participate in dating.

Etymology

From 'dater' plus the standard English plural suffix '-s'. The proliferation of this plural reflects the 20th-century normalization of dating as a social practice.

Kelly Says

Dating apps have created entirely new communities of daters—Tinder alone has billions of swipes annually, making modern daters a statistically massive group unlike any in history.
