The Challenges of Modern Commitment

Modern dating presents unique challenges that contribute to the difficulty of commitment. One major issue is the overwhelming choice available through dating apps, leading to what is referred to as the 'big menu problem,' where individuals feel anxious about making the wrong decision. Additionally, many people grapple with a lack of self-trust when it comes to their relationship choices, fearing they will choose the wrong partner. This combination of choice and fear can create paralysis, making it hard for individuals to commit to someone who might not fulfill all their expectations.
