IT seems that dating in your 20s is realising that your love life isn’t as simple as meeting a random cutie at a bus stop like how our parents were wont to do back in the day. Life seemed a lot less complex and definitely less reliant on technical algorithms to match us with (potentially) The One.

Speaking for many twenty-somethings, most of us really do not know what we want from a partner, and the picture-perfect relationships we see on the Internet make us think that there is something wrong with us when we get ghosted or even dumped.

Perhaps the reality is that we are the ones who complicate our own lives, or maybe we are the red flags. In this episode of Projek Adulting, we talk to fellow twenty-somethings Ahirul Ahiruddin and Nicole Ng about our collective experiences navigating dating and relationships.

Meanwhile, Sara shares her tips and tricks to making a long-term relationship work. Maybe there is hope for all of us, after all! – The Vibes, June 10, 2022

Projek Adulting is presented by Sara Mack Lubis and Ryan Lam
