Why Dating in 2025 Feels Like Customer Service

Hot take: dating in 2025 isn’t romance — it’s customer service.

Sounds harsh? Let’s break it down.

“Good Morning” or Tech Support?

You wake up, and before you even stretch, you’re sending that daily “Good morning” text. Cute? Sure. But half the time, it doesn’t feel romantic — it feels like checking in on a client. You’re basically tech support at this point: running maintenance, keeping the vibe alive, troubleshooting mood swings before they crash the system.

The Trauma Dump = Free Therapy

Then there’s the 2 a.m. calls. You’re lying in bed, half-asleep, listening to the same trauma recap for the 400th time. At this point, babe, you’re not the love interest — you’re HR. You’re handling complaints, drafting emotional reports, and trying not to file for burnout.

Ghosting = Closed Ticket

And then comes the silence. The ghost. No explanation, no closure. Just a digital version of “thank you for your patience, but your ticket has been closed.” No resolution, no refund. Just vibes and wasted time.

So Why Does It Feel Like This?

Because dating today runs on endless availability. Between constant texting, emotional labor, and the pressure to always “be there,” relationships are starting to look more like customer service jobs than love stories. It’s not about magic anymore — it’s about managing someone’s expectations like you’re working the help desk.

How to Break the Cycle

Here’s the thing: love doesn’t have to feel like unpaid work. If dating feels like a customer service shift, it’s time to:

• Check your boundaries. You’re not required to be someone’s 24/7 tech support line.

• Notice reciprocity. If you’re giving constant care and they’re giving radio silence? Red flag.

• Step back from the desk. Take breaks, focus on your own joy, and remember: you’re a person, not a service provider.

Kiki’s Take

Dating should feel like chemistry, not customer service. The hottest relationships aren’t the ones where you’re “managing tickets” — they’re the ones where you both feel free, playful, and desired. And guess what? That starts with you.

Because when you stop acting like customer support and start showing up for yourself, you stop chasing situationships… and start attracting real connections.
