Her: “You’re such a nice guy, why are you still single?”
Me: “Would you go out with me?”
Her: awkward laugh and leaves room…

Let's not forget that 70 years ago, they actually had etiquette classes and socials . . .

[s.d.]

This started long before dating apps, social media, or even the internet. Starting in the 60s and 70s girls were taught that their only path to personal security and happiness was to focus on their career. The average age of marriage, and having children, dramatically increased soon after. At the same time, men have been heavily discouraged from approaching women. We are either harassing them, or we are toxic, or creepy, the list goes on.

At my private school all seniors where required to take a class called Mariage and Family and it was amazing. It went over all kinds of things about relationships centered around Christian values and principles. one of the few useful and interesting classes i took in high school.

My niece took that class at BYU. It was nice, because it gave you an excuse to ask for a date. You could say “hey, I have to go on a date for my class. Will you help me out?” it made it less awkward.

I'm single because I'm dead inside.

As a 23 year old woman who has always been single, I have just recently started rejecting the lies the culture has been spoon-feeding to my generation about dating and marriage. I have began trying to better myself into the kind of future spouse I want to be, while also opening myself up to the possibility of a relationship. Nothing has happened yet, but I'm holding on to these kinds of videos, conversations, and efforts being made by individuals as a sign that there is still hope. This is an incredibly important topic, and I'm thankful Brett continues to discuss it!

On one hand, the digital age has connected us in ways unprecedented but on the other, it's created artificial barriers in human interaction, making dating particularly challenging for Gen Z.

Honestly I like the idea of dating classes. Reminds me of the olden days and how they would teach people how to set dinner tables and converse politely at parties. Those years were so classy. We could really benefit from bringing it back and getting rid of our current state of degeneracy.

I'm 27. Met my present gf (she's 22) on a cruise in Alaska. Neither of us were looking for a relationship and yet we found out we only lived abt 6hrs away from each other. We got to know each other while part of a bigger group on te cruise then when the cruise ended I spent multiple weekends driving up to visit before moving up there and we got together a few months later. Neither of us are perfect but we're growing together and prioritize communication. There's hope for others!

My problem is that if I ask a girl, it's not only the fear of rejection but the fear of being seen as a creep. I was raised a gentleman, and I do everything I can to make women comfortable and feel safe. So it hurts when this is said

I'm a 29 year millennial. The issues I see is being picky, career focused first relationship later attitude, the after effects of me too where guys now feel even talking to a woman at the mall or anywhere public unless she's your cashier will get you pepper sprayed and called a creep, and lastly dating site bots and catfish.

I know why I'm single: because i was homeschooled my entire growing up life, had health issues in my 20s, now i've lived in a cabin in the middle of nowhere for 5 years, and at 35 all the Christian guys around my age are already married/taken...

i just want someone who loves Jesus, is kind to me, and wants to commit for life ❤

[TheTuftyOne]

I'm 47, been single 6 years now and dating is a total dumpster fire.
I'm lucky to be in a good job, have a great circle of friends and can afford nice dates.
None of that translates into actual dates when you can't even get a connection to ask someone out.
Apps suck, they are gamified and commoditised to the max so I've ditched those in favour of singles nights.
Wish me luck!

I'm glad I grew up in the 80's. You dated your first girl, made mistakes, dated another, made mistakes, learned from your mistakes and did better. You worked thru girls or guys until you found one you wanted to spend more time with. Eventually, thru this process, you ended up with a person you wanted to spend your life with.

[CCrescence]

Honestly, I'm not in college yet, but I pray as a Christian that I'm not cooked when I am older. It's kind of hard even at the middle toggle of Gen Z girls. I prefer befriending before actually getting closer in any way. I don't understand how people get so physically involved over emotional involvement first. Kind of backward to me, but I know many people are afraid of getting closer because their parents weren't the best models, and it does take work to break familial marital patterns.

Demoralization leads to the lack of standards, which leads to the lack of meaning, which leads to the lack of purpose, which leads to demoralization.

[DouggieDaDucker]

As someone who is 28 almost 29 and had a traumatic first dating experience when they were younger. I seek therapy and better myself in every way possible, but even with all that, I get ghosted or the "Ew no" reaction when asking someone out. So, at this point, I stopped looking for a relationship. Seeing people complain about not finding someone, BUT when there are people like me who are out there wanting one, we get rejected...
