In the ’70s and 80s, being in a romantic relationship seemed straightforward and easier. It was all about the two parties feeling the same way and boom they are together. They knew what they wanted from each other which is not the case for a millennial. Everything seems so frustrating and complicating. Why is that so? You want to know why then this post is for you.

9 POWERFUL REASONS WHY DATING AS A MILLENNIAL HAS BECOME MESSED UP

1. WE WANT MR PERFECT / MRS PERFECT
Nothing is ever good enough for millennials, this is because Social media, movies and thousands of dating profiles have painted a fairy tale/Cinderella life that doesn’t truly exist. We think we are entitled to such a life. We tend to cross people out even if it is for the smallest details and keep looking for the next best thing which certainly will have its blemish too.

The fact we forget that a balanced bond and imperfections make up a relationship says a lot.

2. TOO MANY OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM
We are always on the move and do not really settle on anything because we believe there is always a better option available, we keep looking for better family life, better welfare, possessions, and money. We’re never quite willing to quit the search, as a result, we end up picking stones instead of the diamond.

The never-ending journey becomes more tiring than the actual prize itself

3. RESPONDING STRATEGICALLY
One of the biggest problems of the Millenials is to think that responding right away can be seen as been desperate and always available. Even with the invention of the Instant messaging we still withhold our response time so as to seem busy, important and unattached. How backward can this be? Instant Messaging apps are not just called instant for fun or for naming sake. Messages show be instant but no we do the direct opposite.
