The most probable reason for the increase of OD is not the fact that more users are joining but rather the fact of the genre that games are being released in. To clarify, games such as Adopt and Raise a Baby not only allow dating but promote the use of dating in order to raise a family. Obviously the game is completely role play but this does cause several problems that implicate the use of dating on online games. If users are addicted to such RPG they may even carry on such habits to other games, thus continuing the process of OD. Other than this fact, usually even younger users will date just to copy the older generation. Generally the older user: younger user ratio will stay constant regardless of the amount of users joining. That being said for the most part it is not the cause of the influx of users but rather the cause of new RPG games that promote OD on Roblox. Please do not date online.
