It can be disheartening to go on a string of first dates, only for none of them to lead to anything lasting. It can be tiring trying to decipher whether or not a guy is truly interested in you. All of these ingredients mixed together can cause you to blame the modern dating landscape for your lack of luck in finding The One.
You struggle not to feel like you were born at the wrong time. You feel nostalgic for a time that you never experienced but feels more in line with your deepest desires.
This is understandable, but is your conclusion correct? Was finding love in the olden days actually easier than it is today? Is the modern dating culture really that much harder than the dating culture of yesteryear?
There is no doubt about it β dating today is difficult. What were some of the reasons those polled felt dating was harder today? Physical danger, getting scammed or lied to, technology, dating having become more impersonal, and the rise of casual connections.
And lastly, many young singles today are wary of putting a label on their romances, with the volume of unlabeled relationships increasing. But a void is created when we refrain from telling it like it is, from allowing ourselves to feel how we feel. Women today have more power. We keep our options open. These undeniably modern-day issues will naturally make us yearn for the old days, when two people would meet at school, fall in love, and live happily ever after.
