Insights from the 2025 National Dating Landscape Survey
Young adults are living through a dating recession — and it's happening during their prime years.
The 2025 National Dating Landscape Survey reveals a striking paradox: most young adults want traditional relationships, marriage, and family — but many lack the dating skills and resilience to get there. Significant barriers are keeping them from even starting.
It's not a fear of commitment. It's a skills gap.
Despite widespread interest in relationship education, practical dating skills remain largely untaught — overlooked by mainstream culture and the relationship education field alike. The result: young adults who are motivated but unequipped.
They need a road map. One that bridges the gap between wanting a lasting relationship and building one.
What You'll Learn How often young adults are dating today — and why the numbers may surprise you The barriers standing between them and the relationships they want What healthy dating skills actually look like How the relationship education field can step up to meet this moment
