AI use in dating is up 333%

A recent Psychology Today article breaks down the stat:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/a-funny-bone-to-pick/202506/ai-use-in-dating-jumps-333

This is a fundamental shift in how people present themselves. More profiles are being written by AI. More messages and photos are being generated generated by AI.

I imagine this will make the dating apps feel even more superficial and disconnected.

This creates two big problems:
(1) Authenticity becomes harder to read.
(2) Trust becomes harder to build.

Here are my 2 expert tips to navigate dating:

1. Share what is uniquely YOU.
Use specific details about your interests, values, and preferences in your bio. The MORE SPECIFIC, the better.

2. Date like a scientist.
Gather data from multiple mediums (text, phone, video, IRL) until you feel trust. Compare how consistent someone is across each medium.

If you’re on the apps, are you seeing this trend?

Buckle up Aunt Susan…

Dating in 2025 is basically running background checks, swiping through AI profiles, and booking therapy sessions in between hinge dates. I see you.

Wishing you strength and hoping you don’t find yourself in the hot seat this holiday 🤞

I recently joined Dr. Peeke on the HER podcast to talk about something so many women quietly struggle with: the pressure and anxiety of the biological clock.

We talk about the real emotional and psychological impact of fertility timelines, especially for women who are dating later in life, building their careers, or navigating relationships while feeling the weight of “running out of time.”

We cover:
• Why the “tick-tock” of the biological clock can trigger anxiety and worst-case thinking
• How fertility pressure shapes dating, relationships, and key life decisions
• What high-achieving women can do to manage biological-clock panic
• How to move from urgency to clarity in your fertility and relationship choices

If fertility timelines, dating pressure, or the fear of “being too late” has ever influenced your decisions, I think you’ll find this episode genuinely useful.

I had the privilege of joining Dr. Peeke on the HER podcast to talk about a topic that impacts so many women but isn’t talked about nearly enough: managing the fear and pressure of the biological clock.

We covered fertility anxiety, dating under time pressure, making empowered decisions, and how to stay grounded even when the stakes feel high.

If this is a chapter you’re navigating (or supporting someone who is), I hope this episode offers some comfort and insight.

We’ve been told to wait to ask about marriage, timelines, or family…

To be chill, to not look desperate.

That advice is outdated and costing women time.

You can ask about the future without making it weird.

Here’s a gentle way to ask the question:

“What season of life are you in right now?”

“And what about in five years?”

Give examples:
✨Career / Education
✨Dating & Partnership
✨Healing / Personal Growth
✨Freedom / Adventure
✨Family-Building

Choose your hard. But do it from a place of personal power.

It might seem harmless to keep “hanging out” with your situationship, but time is the one thing you can’t get back. Every month you spend in limbo is energy you could invest in the future you actually want.

If you’re a woman in your 30s navigating dating, fertility, or whether to freeze your eggs, you can’t outsource that choice. If you don’t make a plan, your body’s biology or someone else’s indecision will make it for you.

That’s exactly what I teach inside my course,

Should I Freeze My Eggs or Download Tinder?

It’s a framework to help you make clear, confident, and informed decisions about your fertility and love life.

Here’s my hot take…it’s not bad advice

I recommend being discerning in dating, BEFORE you get too attached. Take your time, pace yourself.

Once you’ve chosen each other though, it’s time to shift to being accepting and supportive. Think of tending to the relationship, rather than “testing it.”

Ideally, we want to stop with the “auditioning” aspects of dating once we’re in a relationship so we can be truly known and seen.

What do you think about that ChatGPT advice to date like a scientist, but love like a poet? 💕

Super exciting week, I was interviewed and quoted in this New York Times article on the pressures of dating when you're on a fertility deadline. This is a topic close to my heart and such an honor to be interviewed 🩷

Article Title: "The Pressure of Dating With a Fertility Deadline" by Catherine Pearson

For some single women in their 30s and 40s, their biological clocks add unwelcome stress to an already fraught process.

I got quoted in The New York Times!!! 🖤

NYT Article: “The Pressure of Dating With a Fertility Deadline” by Catherine Pearson

It was a complete honor to be interviewed. AND what really moves me is the conversation it’s part of: the growing pressure women feel trying to align dating timelines with fertility timelines.

Here are 3 things women can do to cope with “dating on a deadline”:

1. Name the Scarcity Mindset:

Notice when urgency starts to hijack your thinking. Time pressure can make us rationalize red flags and activate a stress response that narrows perspective and weakens logical reasoning. Naming the scarcity mindset helps you slow down and stay discerning.

2. Take a Micro-Action to Increase Agency:

Book that OB-GYN consult, explore egg freezing, pause the apps, or talk to a therapist. Take one clear, empowered step

3. Set Self-Defined Timeline Markers:

Try statements like:
“If I’m still single in a year, I’ll consider solo parenting,”

OR

“If this relationship isn’t progressing by X, I’ll reevaluate.”

If this hits close to home, check out my course “Should I Freeze My Eggs or Download Tinder?” It’s everything I wish more women knew about dating, fertility, and agency in modern love.

Confession time 👀

I did ALL the things to ‘call in’ my person when I was dating in my 30s

My (honestly iconic) list:

➤Read the book “Calling in the One” twice!

➤Started a single girl book club where we read books on dating

➤Set up a matching lamp + nightstand on my future husband’s side (ya know, to create energetic space)

➤ Spoke affirmations into a heart-shaped gem

➤ Did a bowl-burning to release “negative energy”

Keep your crystals (I kept mine 😉) just pair them with a plan.

What’s the wildest or most woo woo thing you’ve tried to manifest love?

I created “Should I Freeze My Eggs or Download Tinder?” because I was YOU 💕

In my 30s, I was stuck between wanting real love + motherhood and feeling like the options were either:

✨settle in a “meh” relationship (or worse, a toxic one)

✨throw myself into my career

✨ or download Tinder and *hope* for the best

I remember how isolating and scary that felt. I wish I had a guide back then, something that gave me clarity instead of panic. That’s why this course is SO personally meaningful to me. 💌

Inside, I share the exact framework I wish I’d had:
a way to understand your fertility options, set unapologetic dating standards, and make decisions from self-worth (not fear).

✨ To celebrate the launch, I’m giving you $30 off with the code WELCOME30.

Stop settling. Stop panicking. Start creating the future you actually want, with confidence and zero apologies 💕
