Summary
The lack of communication, especially among young people who have grown up with the internet, is a major obstacle in dating. Many struggle with face-to-face interactions and are afraid of making mistakes. There is a stigma around who one should be dating, often based on financial status, which has nothing to do with compatibility. Spending a lot of money on dates can create unrealistic expectations and hinder the development of a genuine connection. Asking for financial assistance or expecting sex in return for expensive dates is not a healthy approach to dating. In this conversation, John X discusses his perspective on dating and relationships.
