Dating in Your 20s: Apps, Ghosting, and What You Actually Want
Apps, ghosting, and the nagging feeling that something's wrong with you. Modern dating is hard — and you're not broken for finding it so.
Dating in your twenties often feels like a part-time job with no training. You match, you message, you meet, you sometimes get ghosted, and you're left wondering what you did wrong. The answer, usually, is nothing.
Apps are designed for endless option-swiping, not for building real connection. They turn people into profiles and reduce dating to a numbers game. It's not a reflection of your worth that it feels hollow — it's a reflection of the system.
Get clear on what you actually want, not what the apps reward. Meet people in real life when you can. And remember: someone not choosing you isn't evidence about you. It's information about fit.
