Has Social Media Ruined Dating? Why No One Can Commit Anymore

Why can't anyone commit anymore, and did social media completely ruin dating? This week we're getting into: the ghosting, the situationships, and the "I'm just not in the place right now" speech we've all heard. Everyone treats each other like they're disposable now. You unfollow someone in real life and disappear, no conversation, no closure, nothing. We talk about the panic and dip (when the texts start dwindling and you just KNOW), why situationships somehow hurt worse than actual breakups, and why they always come back months or even years later just to like your story and feed their ego and whether we're manifesting the chaos or just recognizing the pattern. How we started measuring whole relationships by “texts per day”. Why "let's just be friends" is the most insane thing a man can say to you. Why we audit our own behavior and shrink ourselves so they won't leave, and how that never works anyway. And the big question: is it the apps, or has this always been in us and the apps just let it out? We don't have it all figured out but we do have hope. Get offline. Meet people in the wild. And never, ever settle for some bum who doesn't even like you. 0:00 The dating crisis 1:18 How social media made people disposable 2:35 The "I'm not in the place right now" speech 3:42 Why we all have trust issues now 4:27 Dating apps ruined dating 5:34 Going back to the roots 5:57 The stats: 80% to 43% and the ghosting epidemic 6:49 We used to show up with pizza and beer 7:37 The panic and dip 8:10 Measuring love in 12 texts a day 9:00 Are we manifesting it? 9:35 The craziest panic and dip story 11:02 They always come back 13:15 Situationships vs relationships 14:37 Auditing yourself for men who don't want you 16:13 Pretending not to care so you don't get hurt 17:31 "Can we still be friends?"
