Dating in 2025
A Survival Guide
Dating 2025 reassembles a train that derailed, staring at a pool of ugly fish and no, I wish I was kidding. Never in my life did I think I’d be 45 and single. I always assumed I had relationships figured out. Spoiler: I didn’t.
Turns out, I’ve been one to never choose well. Instead, I’ve collected more heartbreak than necessary, more grey hairs than I care to admit, and, for a long time, I allowed behaviors that now get a firm “no.”
The dating world isn’t for the faint-hearted. You need:
A solid headspace
Firm boundaries
A clear sense of your worth
And the courage to really know yourself
So you don’t end up repeating the same mistakes or meeting the same nonsense.
For anyone venturing into 2025 dating, here’s a handy “List” of types you might encounter:
The list of 2025
The Magician – Appears out of nowhere, disappears just as fast. Great at illusions, terrible at commitment.
The Tasmanian Devil – Charming chaos fun until it’s not. Leaves a whirlwind wherever they go (sometimes in your emotions).
The Commitment-Phobe – Talks about future plans just not with you. Vague promises guaranteed.
The Hookup Guy – Wants your body, not your heart. Great for a night, terrible for a decade.
The No-Brains Guy – Conversations that cause actual eye-roll flare-ups. Energy drain included.
The Drama Magnet – Life is a soap opera. Plot twists, jealousy, crises you didn’t sign up for.
The Ghost – Mysterious, but not in a fun way. Houdini-level disappearance guaranteed.
The “Perfect on Paper” – Everything checks out on profile or resume except personality. Chemistry optional.
The Emotional Vampire – Sucks your energy, validates nothing, expects all the emotional labor to come from you.
The “Nice Until They’re Not” – Sweet, charming, attentive… until boundaries are tested. Then? Watch the mask fall.
Pro tip for 2025 dating:
Know yourself, set boundaries, and never forget: you’re not letting these people take your time, energy, and patience. Choose wisely.
