Tinder's Year in Swipe - Topics, words and chat up lines singletons loved in 2019

2019 has been the year that some people met the love of their life.

But for others it has been a year of heartbreak, and a year which saw them returning to the world of dating after a long break.

Despite lots of new dating apps popping up, Tinder is still a firm favourite for many, so we've taken a look back at how people have been swiping over the last 12 months.

From the most popular emojis, the most attractive likes and interests and what people are looking for in a potential match - here's Tinder's 2019 in swipe.

According to research by the company, Glastonbury, the London Marathon, veganism and Meghan Markle were all popular discussion points, along with Fleabag and Love Island.

The language of love has also been changing, with singletons saying real, lit, and woke a lot more.

There has been a big increase in the number of people using Tinder in Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool - so singletons who are struggling with the talent in their area might consider a road trip.
