4 Birth Months Who Are Struggling With Dating This Year

Modern dating isnโ€™t much fun, especially for people with soft hearts.

After all, so many people send mixed signals these days. So many people arenโ€™t looking for a serious relationship at all. At times, it feels impossible to find someone on the same page as you, let alone someone who is upfront and honest about their intentions. Here are the birth months who struggle the most with modern dating:

January

You struggle with modern dating because you wear your heart on your sleeve. You donโ€™t see the point in pretending that you arenโ€™t interested and playing it cool, because you would rather speak directly from the soul. You would rather blurt out whatever is on your mind than leave the other person guessing. Unfortunately, some people donโ€™t love this approach. They would rather play mind games โ€“ but you arenโ€™t interested in making someone wonder about your feelings. Itโ€™s much easier to get vulnerable with them and share what youโ€™re feeling. You just wish others would do the same. You wish emotional conversations werenโ€™t like pulling teeth. You wish others were as transparent and honest as you.

March

You struggle with modern dating because you are a romantic. You are willing to go above and beyond for whoever youโ€™re dating, and you expect the same type of energy from them. After all, you arenโ€™t going to be happy with staying in and watching Netflix every weekend. You want to be wooed. You want to be swept off of your feet. You are willing to go to great lengths for your partner, but they need to return the favor. You donโ€™t want to be the only one trying, the only oneย  investing real energy into the relationship. You want your partner to be exerting the same level of effort as you.

August

You struggle with modern dating because you are searching for a serious, committed relationship, but so many of the people you meet are only interested in taking it slow and seeing where things go. You donโ€™t want to come across as too demanding โ€“ but you donโ€™t want to lie about your intentions either. After all, you donโ€™t see the point in pursuing someone who isnโ€™t on the same page as you. You donโ€™t want to waste your time with a partner who clearly isnโ€™t ready to settle down for good. Youโ€™re only interested in real, all-consuming love โ€“ but itโ€™s surprisingly difficult to find someone who feels the same.

November

You struggle with modern dating because you love yourself too much to settle. So many people out there expect you to be okay with breadcrumbs when youโ€™re holding out for fireworks. You arenโ€™t going to allow others to get away with doing the bare minimum, especially when you give so much to everyone you love, which means you end up turning so many people away. But you arenโ€™t going to apologize for having high standards. You arenโ€™t going to let others get away with treating you terribly, just so you can say youโ€™re in a relationship. You would rather stay single than end up with a person who disrespect you. You would never let yourself settle.
