I'm a dating coach, and my biggest challenge is reminding younger singles that dating success isn't guaranteed. There'll be rejection, heartbreak, and unmet expectations. That's life. But instead of learning and growing, it's easier for them to blame, point fingers, stay victimized, and listen to toxic dating "advice" on the internet.

As I see it, this generation got everything handed to them as kids, now they're realizing that doesn't work as adults in the dating world. They gotta do the work and take responsibility. So do older singles, by the way.

Thanks for the great article, I share your unease and vow not to stay silent either.
