Bestie, we need to talk about dating in 2025—because it’s basically a never-ending reality TV show and we’re all just trying to survive. After 13 years of being married, I woke up to a dating scene that feels like a cursed spaceship. No one’s happy, no one’s trustworthy, and the only thing more exhausting than bad dates is bad dating advice. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to drown in the chaos. Let’s cut through the noise.
First, dating isn’t just about finding someone—it’s about surviving a 24/7 content factory. Instagram galleries of “top date spots,” TikTok relationship coaches, and endless debates about whether men are the problem? It’s all just noise. And honestly, overanalyzing every text thread or date convo is the fastest way to kill your vibe. Jemima Kirke once said, “You guys might be thinking about yourselves too much,” and I’m here for that. Take dating tips from someone with actual experience, not a 27-year-old with a filter and a side hustle. Give me the wisdom of someone who’s been there, done that, and probably still single.
Then there’s the whole “chemistry” thing. TikTok wants you to ask questions, listen, and vibe like a podcast. But let’s be real: that’s not a date—it’s a job interview. You want to feel like you’re in a tennis rally, not filling out a questionnaire. Remember that iconic scene in When Harry Met Sally where they’re bouncing off each other like Ping-Pong balls? That’s the real magic. If you’re relying on a list of questions to make conversation flow, you’re probably not right for each other.
And let’s talk about the “main-character syndrome.” You’re the hero of your own story, so every bad date feels like battling the forces of evil. But here’s the truth: Jake (or whoever) isn’t a villain—they’re just not your person. Stop treating every date like a villain movie. Somewhere out there is a woman (maybe a yoga instructor in Clapham) who’s perfect for this man-child. It’s just not you—and that’s okay.
💫 Are we all just overanalyzing dating, or is it actually getting better.
