Hot take: Dating in 2025 feels less like romance and more like economics... 


Inspired by the film Materialists and the conversations it’s sparked, we unpack the financial impact of the dating apps on modern dating: the rise of financial transparency as a new love language, why accidental “ROI thinking” might be killing the vibe, and of course, the "who pays on the first date" etiquette. 


And we weigh in on a community dilemma: should you pay someone back for dates if things don’t work out?

We hope you're So Invested.
