The most popular dance trend on TikTok sees men appeal to a woman's father with their dance moves.

The remixed Gilmore Girls scene soundtracks nearly 100,000 videos and dozens have racked up millions of views.

The "I love your daughter" trend is one of three dating-adjacent dance trends overtaking FYPs.

Sage Thomas , a 22-year-old creator, posted two videos to the trend.

She thinks so many people participated because struggling with dating is so relatable.

Thomas ' comments imply that these trends are a response to modern dating.
