My good friend and highly talented director Ryan Turner has made an incredible, multi-award-nominated short film that shows how you could be dating by 2025.
I hope you love it as much as I do…

Way too possible!… and maybe even probable for many, especially young people.
Where can I get some of that pizza shake and Prozac syrup?
Time to teach children that the opposite sex is not a foreign species. Talk to boys. Talk to girls. Talk to all people… old, young, single, married, divorced, rich, poor, attractive, not so attractive. If more people do this we may have a kinder friendlier world. Talk to people w No Expectation of Anything. Just talk to all people…
True. Be here now. Wise words.
It was a great short film. Very realistic themes and is happening now. I love meeting new people when dating. I don’t like being ghosted if a date went well but there’s no possibility for date two. Dating is like a full time job and it’s hard to meet genuine, real people.
Scary!!
I dont date online, because i think it is a souless un-organic way to reach out for connection.i guess im happuer being old fashioned… if i dont meet u in real life through natural spontaneous connection i figure im not supposed to meet you.i might make friends and aquaintences online, but im not on any dating sites. I think im healthier, mind, body, spirit for it.
This is an amazing shot film and with a heartwarming ending.. However I would love to recommend you to watch another short movie “Something like love – an Indian short movie casting Shantanu”, I hope you’d like it too..
Regarding the dating in 2025, well I feel that in 2025 people are going to get more robotic and mechanical.. Rather than loving the person they would get materialistic.. It’s scary though.. I always hope that the old school love would come back into our lives where people will naturally fall in love with each other and cherish and relish that love throughout their lives.. Rather than looking out or depending on any dating advices or as such.. – comment by a happy happy pretty but a lil sad & confused girl who is unable to decide which way to go now. Any help would be appreciated
Wow that is very eye opening reality. I’m so confident talking online, on messengers, but the confidence drops when someone is trying to call me or speaks to me in person. It’s probably time to wake up, smell the coffee and step out of the comfort zone. I’m confident when it comes to chatting to people casually, work, but as soon as somebody shows interest in me, I go into panic mode and start to imagine, what if I get stuck with the wrong person and want to hide again. Definitely good video to reflect on. I still have lots of work to do on myself.
I am looking forward to get matched up by computer based on all my characteristics with the (my) best match on the planet and nothing more! Hate the wated time on dates that don’t go anywhere …
Love this! Might have just saved a life :)
I enjoyed the video.
A date in 2025- I loved it. The routine of work and sleep without interaction can become a cell you don’t even realize. I’ve done it. It can be easy to say that you don’t really want to get out there, when I’m fact your just scared. Love he hug at the end. Everyone needs a real full body hug sometimes.
People not willing to do much effort. One example: not willing to drive or travel an x ammount of miles or instead of wanting to take you out, proposing the Netflix and Chill at home date for a first date. Not being honest about their intentions. And flakyness are real deal breakers. And disappointments too. Also people just not being honest about how they feel about you and just leave you hanging and start ghosting you.
These are things i struggle with in dating.
wow! Matt, i hope to god dating does come to this. an incredible clip. so enjoyed it. but dating 2015 could be possible. hopefully you and other relationship coaches will continue to insist on meeting people in person when the time is right. technology is so great for connecting but not staying connected!
C: I feel your pain. I was married for 26 years before my divorce and have been on numerous dating sites for the last year. Although I look more like 46, I’m actually 56. Men MY age are looking for women about ten years younger than me. Men in their ’60s, generally, are not “well preserved.” If I looked like my mother, I might be interested in dating a man who could be a friend of my father. Many men I meet in person barely resemble the photos they post. I’ve had a few men I’ve met ask me out, however, when I found out that they were in their mid-forties, and they discovered my age, we all beat a hasty retreat. Add all this and that my personality is a Meyers-Briggs INFJ, and it seems pretty hopeless. I guess we’re all in this together, girlfriend!
Not sure I’d want to date again if this is the future.
You should be brave and adventurous and although not all relationships will work that’s ok it means they will leave so you can find someone who’s right for you.
Internet dating is one way to meet people but there are so many more ways to meet amazing people .
I love technology because you can connect with people who you otherwise wouldnt have met.
The one thing I dislike about technology and dating today is that the liers and deceivers have new ways to deceive you and can hide behind a keyboard. P
Oh man. Technology is something I love and hate at the same time but a lot of guys today (or at least the ones I attract) are only after a booty call or a warm body. Or they’re into taking all your money (or trying to), taking advantage of you, etc. I had amazing chemistry with someone only to figure out he didn’t want to settle down. Grief and loss only makes this harder. I’ve been going outside my comfort zone. I’ve been doing everything right, so what’s wrong with me ? I don’t understand !
This video made me think about how long it has been since I have actually been on a real date…
There is NOTHING like the power of touch and real connection with another human being. Technology may improve but there are sensory and emotional feelings it simply cannot replicate. Chemistry, when it happens, is such a mystery and such a beautiful delight.
Oh, my Goddess, how I love that! What a fanTAStic film! I think the concept of VR taking us further and further away from real connection is spot on, and is a very real concern about where we are currently heading. Technology has even taken the place of friends and close counsel in the film… Something that I hope we, as a collective, will head off before we get too deep in. I like that the need for the warmth of human togetherness is highlighted in such a sweet and poignant way.
