It\u2019s safe to say that dating isn\u2019t the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago. Now, there are apps, criminal
\nbackground checks and a lookout for drugs. That doesn\u2019t sound romantic but it\u2019s the reality.<\/p>\n
Yet, those aren\u2019t the only problems with modern dating. As it turns out, those in the dating world say there are other big issues. Here\u2019s a look at some of the primary ones.<\/p>\n
Data states that harassment and pressure for sex affects both women and men. Around 57% of women said they felt harassed by someone they dated while 35% of men said they felt either harassed or pressured into doing things they didn\u2019t want to do.<\/p>\n
The pandemic kept everyone locked down for such a long period that it\u2019s no wonder people are anxious about dating. Some people lost social skills during the lockdown and need to redevelop in-person skills.<\/p>\n
Then, there\u2019s the practical side of things. People need to know how you feel about wearing masks and whether you are vaccinated. Deep-rooted feelings about these things go beyond just the mask or health status and get into political feelings so it\u2019s important to understand where a potential date stands.<\/p>\n
Ghosting is when a person suddenly ignores the other person. They don\u2019t call them. They don\u2019t return phone calls or text messages. Worst of all, they don\u2019t tell you why. Unfortunately, this type of rude behavior is now
\nconsidered normal among those dating.<\/p>\n
Psychologists say don\u2019t let ghosting affect you. People do it to avoid confrontation, which means they aren\u2019t mature enough to tell you in person that they aren\u2019t interested or why. Those who ghost others are
\nself-absorbed, rude people you don\u2019t want or need in your life.<\/p>\n
Many of these problems are more prevalent among younger people but seem especially common in
\nmillennials. It hasn\u2019t been determined why younger people seem to lack good dating skills but some speculate being so involved in technology has something to do with it.<\/p>\n
Make a plan on how to address these issues directly so that you can date confidently. You deserve respect and should demonstrate that in teaching others how to treat you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
