Ask a Matchmaker Dating Trends of 2025 with Erika Ettin | Ask a Matchmaker Podcast with Matchmaker Maria
This week on Ask a Matchmaker, Matchmaker Maria is joined by Erika Ettin, a renowned dating coach who specializes in navigating the world of online dating. Together, they break down essential advice for making meaningful connections in 2025.
Erika shares creative tips on rethinking your dating profile title—why calling yourself an "RN" or "hospitality professional" might spark more interest than the traditional job title approach. They also dive into the emerging trend of value-driven dating. But what does "values" actually mean in dating, and how does it stack up against chemistry? Erika and Maria explain why both are essential and why giving people a chance on the first (and even second) date is worth it.
Finally, they tackle the coffee date debate. While some claim it’s a low-effort option, Maria and Erika challenge that idea, emphasizing the thoughtful planning required to pick a great spot with the right vibe. Plus, a fancy restaurant isn’t automatically a "high-effort" date—effort comes from thoughtfulness, not price tags.
Tune in for insightful, practical advice on modern dating and making every connection count!
