#brunchtalk: Can You Future-Proof Your Relationships When Dating?

In a world where everything feels uncertain, is it actually possible to future-proof your relationship? In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest dating trends of 2025: the rise of future-proofing. With people becoming more intentional about who they commit to, long-term compatibility is suddenly more attractive than fleeting chemistry — and psychologists are backing it. In fact, a recent Forbes article calls future-proofing “the healthiest dating trend of 2025,” but is it realistic? We're unpacking why trying to predict the future with a partner isn’t foolproof. In this episode, we break down what future-proofing really means, why it’s trending, where it goes wrong, and how conscious dating (not perfection-hunting) is still the most powerful way to build a fulfilling relationship.
