Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?

I think the big influences in the past 20 years have been mass free online porn, dating apps that mislead people into thinking they can always do better, and social media. They have all had highly negative effects IMHO, though the last 2 have also had some positive effects too.

Were you young in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? Dating has been changing in every decade.

If you mentioned when exactly you were young, you may get more precise answers.

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new
