If you’ve ever discreetly tilted your phone away from a coworker while checking your dating apps, congratulations: you’re officially part of the majority. A recent survey found that 92% of millennials admit to using dating apps while at work, and honestly… we’re not even surprised. Between endless meetings that could’ve been emails and the kind of afternoon slump that no amount of coffee can fix, sometimes a little swipe break is exactly the morale boost you need.

And it’s not just millennials. Gen Z is right behind you, with nearly three-quarters saying they swipe during work, too. The modern workplace has evolved — hybrid schedules, remote days, flexible hours — so naturally, so has the modern dating schedule. Today’s singles are no longer limiting their search for romance to evenings and weekends. The office desk, the parked mail truck, the back room of a retail store, the teacher’s lounge during recess… all fair game, apparently.

At OBC, we’re not here to shame anyone for multitasking. In fact, we get it! Life is busy, love is chaotic, and sometimes your best uninterrupted free time falls between “team sync” and “brainstorm huddle.”

But if you are going to swipe on the clock, we have one gentle request: make your messages count. Instead of firing off a rushed “sup” while you’re half-listening to your boss explain Q4 projections, try sending a thoughtful opener on your lunch break. A clever question or a fun comment about their profile goes way further than a distracted one-word attempt typed with one thumb under your desk.

We’re happy to have you on OBC no matter the day, time, or questionable WiFi connection you’re using. Just remember: be intentional, be kind, and maybe don’t swipe while operating heavy machinery.
