Dating in 2025 isn’t easy. With connection just a swipe away, finding something genuine feels harder than ever. Despite endless options, mismatches are common—and red flags often get overlooked in the search for something real.
So what’s going on? Is it the apps? The city? Or is it us?
In this episode of Table 6ix, we sit down with Jen Kirsch—Toronto-based dating expert, CBC contributor, and host of Date Nite with Jen on NewsTalk 1010—for a candid look at modern dating in Toronto.
We talk about the myth of “no good men in Toronto,” how to meet people without the apps, and what dating burnout really looks like. Jen unpacks the latest red flags to watch for in 2025, the rise of “dating for the plot,” and why the “single by choice” era might just lead to your biggest glow-up yet.
Plus, Jen shares her favourite downtown spots for first dates, coffee chats, and introvert-friendly hangs. Love in Toronto? It’s complicated—but Jen Kirsch is here to help you navigate it.
