Dating in 2025 isn’t easy - no matter who you are. In an era where connection is just a swipe away, finding something genuine feels harder than ever. Despite the abundance of options, mismatches are common, and hope can make us overlook red flags and empty promises. 

So what’s really going on? Is it you? Is it me? Do we need to work on ourselves - or are there really no good guys left in Toronto?

In this episode, we sit down with Jen Kirsch, a Toronto dating and relationship expert, CBC Contributor, former Toronto Star columnist, and host of Date Nite with Jen on NewsTalk 1010. 

Jen offers a refreshingly honest take on what’s really going on in Toronto’s dating scene, and how to stop chasing love in all the wrong places.

In this episode we cover:

• Why so many people say there are “no good men in Toronto” and what’s really behind that belief
• Dating burnout in 2025: what causes it, and how to reset
• How to meet people in Toronto without using dating apps
• Red flags to watch for in today’s dating culture
• What “dating for the plot” really means - and why it’s not as fun as it sounds
• The rise of the “Single by Choice” era - and how solo dating can lead to real confidence (and connection)

Plus: Jen shares her go-to spots in downtown Toronto for coffee dates, introvert-friendly hangs, and the best places to meet people in Toronto if you're over the apps.

Love in the 6ix? It’s complicated. Jen Kirsch breaks it down - so you can stop guessing and start connecting.
