There’s a new dating trend that suggests romance might actually live in the cereal aisle. It’s called “choremancing,” and it turns everyday errands, like grocery shopping or folding laundry, into surprisingly charming dates.

“Choremancing” is where couples or potential partners spend time together doing ordinary chores instead of planning traditional dates. The idea has gained traction because many singles are tired of high-pressure outings and prefer relaxed, low-key ways to connect. Surveys show many people like it because it’s cheaper, more sustainable, and lets you see how someone actually functions in real life, like whether they can pick a ripe avocado. Therapists say doing tasks together can ease first-date nerves because it removes the “interview across a table” vibe and gives you something natural to focus on.
