Dating in 2025 feels more like emotional dodgeball than romance. In this episode of The Real Thing, we dive into the chaos of hookups, the mind games people play, and how pop culture is reshaping what sex, love, and commitment even mean anymore. From the pressure to keep things “casual” to the silent rules of ghosting and breadcrumbing, we’re calling out the confusion and naming what’s really going on.
