About

Dating Wrapped is a TikTok trend based on Spotify Wrapped in which users share their dating history from the past year, often as a slideshow, along with statistics regarding their dates that include things like age breakdowns, where they met their dates and the average number of dates they went on. The trend was popularized in December 2022 and inspired the similar Hookup Wrapped trend in which people reveal similar, more lewd stats about people they hooked up with that year.

Origin

On December 2nd, 2022, TikToker^[1] @alexandriathemediocre posted a video where she presents a "dating wrapped" slideshow, giving various statistics on her dating history over the course of the year. In the video, she reveals stats including that she went on 21 first dates, where she typically met her dates, how long their relationships lasted and how many of her dates she cried over, garnering over 1.2 million views in a week (shown below). In an interview with BuzzFeed News^[2] she said she was inspired by Spotify Wrapped and that she "always kept track and kept notes of [her] dating life," inspiring her to do a full recap for TikTok.

Spread

The trend spread over the following week as more TikTokers posted their own slideshows recapping their 2022 dating history. On December 4th, 2022, TikToker^[3] @amberwavesofbrain posted a video following the trend, garnering over 3.1 million views in five days (shown below, left). On December 6th, Insider^[4] reported on the trend. On December 7th, TikToker^[5] @danniedupone posted a dating wrapped video, garnering over 1.3 million views in two days (shown below, right).

As the trend spread, some TikTokers started posting "hookup wrapped" videos offering more sexual stats regarding the hookups they had in 2022. For example, now-deleted TikToker @sluttyprincessbubblegum posted a video like this, which was reposted to Twitter^[6] on December 9th. Two days earlier, TikToker^[7] @ehyrin posted a video going over her "whore era wrapped," garnering over 359,000 views in two days (shown below). On the same day, InTheKnow^[8] and Yahoo!^[9] reported on the trend.
