Modern Dating Is Challenging
It’s easier to meet people now than ever before, however, dating is harder now than ever because:
- People expect to get all of their needs met from one person today instead of several people like friends, family, etc.
- People have high expectations of what relationships should feel like (due to comparing relationships from social media)
- People suffer from the paradox of choice.
- More options make us feel depressed, makes it hard for us to choose, and in some ways leads to decision paralysis.
- People have fewer relationship role models (many parents are divorced).
