What I’m finding overwhelming is that I have no idea how to date, or what modern dating is? I’ve only ever been with my ex and right from the start, we were exclusive and did not see any other people. I mean, it was straight out of high school. But speaking to some friends, I think now there’s lots of casual dating and it’s all quite overwhelming, because I have no idea how any of it works?" Figuring out how to date in a sustainable way in terms of time, finances and energy is a unique process for everyone, but it will feel like a slog at times, a rollercoaster occasionally and mundane for the majority of the time with many once and done dates with perfectly nice people. Good luck and may the journey be fun!" —u/anew_winsome Once you know all this, it helps whittle down the prospective dates. Up to you how you communicate your wishes to them and if you end up being flexible." —u/Duyfkenthefirst
