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…

Awesome, I can so relate. I’m going on a real date Friday.
What I love about dating is the exploration of learning each other.
I have tried online dating in the past. The last time I did it all I got were men who wanted to talk dirty. Very disappointing;to the point I haven’t tried since. I wish it was easier in finding the nice men out there.
Fantastic!
So thought provoking – and sadly, I can imagine so real!
Excellent
Very grateful to Mat and his team for getting this short film to
us. And most certainly Ryan Turner is a director I will watch again. AI has been having some input into today’s dating world, even in my case, though I am adamantly a face to face person who refused to have FB interactions. Well until recently anyway.
AI indeed does something to alleviate the fear and the pain of rejection that paralyses even the best of us. The slight impersonality of it makes it easier to, let’s say, casually slip a friends request to someone you lost touch with long ago. And maybe a couple of months later, send a like or make a comment and then get a comment back that tell you without a doubt you have not been forgotten. Either.
In any case, the Lady Luck always favors the bold, so at the end of the day, it’s still up to the individual to risk it all. All not.
Thanks again for all your efforts. They make a difference.
Best
Such great story bit sad that it might be like that but statistics have enforced this vision.
I’m living this right now, funny enough! I find that leaving my flat and connecting to people is the hardest thing ever!
40, single, crazy cat lady…
And how about the future of dating in 2050, this could be an ever lasting subject.
It is nice concept. It made mw realize the needy of gettibg out of your comfort zone… Try to explore by going out. But i did those things, not scared to face the reality… After breaking up my marriage to my husband I tried to be out of my sadness, but I think its worsening me that even I am out of my box of sadness it turns that its following me wherever I go… Its chasing me. All I want is a total recovery of myself after of what happen to a 5 year marriage of mine. I want to become a new person to somebody I want to date with.
I hate the agendas behind it. I’m looking for a guy that wants more than just sex.
Wonderful. Well acted. Who’s the beautiful girl. I think I’ve seen her before.
So many options and choices. It has become a commodity. It is a challenge to have the consistency from virtual to reality or in person.The one factor is the truth that lies and the deceit that goes with it. How could someone just cut off the connection with on line dating or searching when it turns into a habit or addiction to some.Daters just need to be smarter and need to know their real agenda on dating. On the other hand a handful can still find the real one but you have to work around it unless you find the right one and the one who is faithfully yours.
Interesting concept, but we don’t have to go as far as 2025 because It seams that we are already there in 2018. Fear of loneliness, fear of not being loved, fear and fear s more there than ever. Technology totally disconnected us from reality already. Look at dating sites, we are shopping and evaluating people based on pictures, some don’t have a chance even though they might be nice people. Thank you for this video it is an eye opener. After seeing a lots of your videos you are not just good, you are the BEST in this field.
I hate the expectations people put on each other (men & women). In today’s dating world, we expect people to have their sh*t together; financially & emotionally. Not everyone is going to be financially or emotionally stable/secure. That may in fact be why they are hoping to find someone to date & help them with simple things that could lead them in the right direction to financial or emotional success. Dating is much more than getting along with your date/partner. It can be a very valuable learning experience as well. In fact, I hope that everyone learns something from their relationships (past & present).
Just one thing?! I think having so many options is a major issue. My latest experience is that I can’t even get a guy to ask me out on an actual date, much like in the film. If I even get lucky to match someone, either a conversation doesn’t even get started, or if it does, it goes back and forth for a week or two and then never goes anywhere. The guy just stops communicating, and don’t even get me started on ghosting. Dating these days is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’m at the point of wanting more than just dating, I want a relationship and to find someone I can see a future with. I feel so far behind in life being single at my age. This makes me fear that I’ll end up settling. Dating these days is so miserable that I have to take breaks from online dating. I’ll seriously online date for about two months and then I will hit a breaking point where I’ll have to take a few weeks off from it.
I hate how guys are so scared like the one in the video. A woman doesn’t really want that kind of man. She needs and wants a masculine type man that has the guts to take her out and provide for her and not be so dam scared. Some men just need to grow a pair and maybe they wouldn’t be alone.
The future of dating? I hope not all dating process would be online
I loved this movie. If you are dating it is a must see, with so many nuances to what dating is like, it was very funny yet sadly realistic.
I will write about what I love about dating first, I love that you can be see people’s interests and choose similar interests.
What I don’t like, mainly people that beat around the bush and don’t meet up. I think this has a lot to do with too much choice. Matches seem to just sit there and I find myself being the suggestor of date and time to meet and I feel the role of who does that is confusing as women expect men, but equality forces men to expect women, so no one knows who will and nothing happens.
Also when you do meet, people lie and post old photos and don’t look anything like pictures!
But you just need to get yourself out there and I’ve been watching Hussey’s videos and I’m focusing on the double look and getting my flirt on, I think has really helped me!
I met someone other day in a shop and asked what he was doing and managed to find out where he works, I also gave a guy my number on a napkin, whilst out with my ex-husband, so I’m getting balls slowly (he was married haha).
I think it’s a numbers game, going straight to coffee date and chatting there, not online. But I understand some people want to get to know you online a bit, so I’m just like: I love your messages, but honestly I am more of a meet in person chick.
Honestly is the best policy always!
Also, you meet douchebags, but it’s all good, your learning. One guy swore at me via text, because I was late. I have a 5 year old I’m a single mum and was meeting at the mall, was one hour late! I like to look nice so I straightened my hair, took ages…
I got my kid ready to go to IKEA with her dad, and he left 1 minute after I said I was there and posted a picture of his steering wheel driving off!!!
#dickhead
I think I dodged a bullet there.
But the fact he came, is better than most, but goes to show, if it’s not meant to be – it won’t happen.
If I was going to be the love of his life, he would of sat waiting 2 or more hours, gone shopping etc!
I think hardest part I find is liking someone that doesn’t like you back. I choose attractive pretty boy type guys, I think I get matches who are looking for just hooking up as I’m pretty good looking (been told stunning wouldn’t go that far lol). But I’m looking for a serious thing, but just get genital pics or sexting mainly. I’ve had to give ultimatums to guys that stay online and chat forever, it’s so lame, I want to smell them etc, online is so boring, but necessary to get a husband as everyone is buried in their phones, except for people who have really big balls.
I met my first husband at a shop, and we just got along well, but he turned out to become narcissistic and couldn’t handle his kid getting more attention than him, just a man baby!
But the fact I met him in person 2004, shows it’s possible and best thing online is to just say, let’s meet for coffee and see if there’s any connection I believe.
I find it hard to believe, you could have your future husband sitting in your inbox and just not meet you, if it’s meant to be, you will both swipe and meet up quickly. All the others are just simply not meant to be.
I’ve been single 3 years, raising my kid alone since 2. I had 13 year marriage since 22 and now looking 45-60yo as guys my age are hopeless in bed or just childish.
Great Movie!!
I’m over 40 and there is a laundry list…LOL
The texting small talk, never actually going on a date or even meeting for coffee…what happened to actually planning an evening or afternoon and doing something?
And the unsolicited D Pics are off the charts…I will specifically ask for one if I want to see the Goods. HAHA
it scary to even imagine that might be our lives in the near future..
texting is good but a date or two after a week or two is needed. Being indoors is kinder freaking me out now
