Dating is hard, but even harder for millennials These are some of the mistakes they make
Let’s face it, dating is not easy to begin with, and over the years the dating game has changed in leaps and bounds unlike our parents’ generation.
In today’s millennial world, dating is a different ball game with the advent of a number of apps and technology that have infiltrated one’s social and dating life.
1. Rushing in quickly:
Instead of taking it slowly and steadily, there’s a tendency to jump, and move very quickly in a relationship. While it’s tempting and flattering, and seems natural when you find someone you connect with, it’s likely to fizzle out just as quickly as it started. Relationships, healthy ones, take time to build and grow organically.
2. It’s complicated:
In an age of dating apps, meeting people for hook-ups have become far more easier and also a norm of sorts. At some point, it will get complicated because the lines of friendship and relationships blur, and because no one actually talks about it because of the fear of becoming needy or clingy or is an all-out commitment-phobe.

Social Media Validation:
Millennials thrive on social media validation, and thus its not surprising to see them glued to their phones 24/7 constantly updating their Facebook page with statues; the latest Instagram snap of them and their significant other. Likes and comments is what drives them.
