Why is dating so complicated now?

It feels like dating has gotten way harder in recent years.. especially with how much social media influences everything. I’m 19 and single, and it already feels like a struggle to meet people who are actually interested in getting to know each other. Apps don’t seem to help either.. they just make everything feel more shallow and competitive. What do you think.. do you have any tips?

It's always been difficult. Difference is apps allowing for more shallow behavior, influencers giving out bad advice that people follow, and a lack of social spaces to meet people.
