51. Dating in 2025: Ghosting, First Dates & Double Standards

Dating today is not what it used to be… and we’re chisming ALL about it! In this special English episode of Let’s Chisme Podcast, Chanti breaks her rule of keeping her dating life private and opens up about her own stories—alongside her friends Melanie, Paola, and Carlos her podcast producer.

Together, we compare the ups and downs of modern dating with the realities of being in a long-term relationship. From swiping on apps, ghosting, “the ick,” and awkward first dates… to marriage at 24, cultural double standards, and parents giving us advice that shaped how we see love, this conversation is raw, hilarious, and relatable.

You’ll hear about:

• The shocking reactions Chanti’s mom had when she tried dating apps
• How cultural expectations in Latino families affect how we date
• Stories of heartbreak, red flags, and dating app fails
• Why some people treat dating like a full-time job
• Marriage vs. single life—what’s better and what’s harder in 2025
• Honest takes on who should pay on the first date

Whether you’re single, married, dating, or somewhere in between, this episode will make you laugh, nod your head, and maybe even rethink your own love stories.
