Dating in general can be a struggle, but dating in your 20s? It can be rough. You're in that in-between stage of your life where it's kind of OK to not have your sh*t together, including in your love life. With that said, finding someone you can take seriously past one night is a challenge of its own. Especially now that even dating can be done through apps (what a time to be alive), places to meet people organically IRL are pretty slim. Whether you're fresh out of college or in denial of nearing the big 3-0, you'll be able to relate to the following 12 struggles of dating in your 20s.

There's always the risk of the roommate walking in.

Half the people your age are using dating apps.

And most of them are flexing in their profiles.

Their idea of a date equals "come over."

A lot of 20-somethings are still immature.

Or way too old-spirited to be in their 20s.

Most of the people you meet at the bar are too hammered to spit proper game.

You don't know if you're being catfished by someone you meet online.

You're limited to meeting people at bars and clubs.

Casual sex outweighs relationships.

A good prospect can be ruined by what they post on social media.

Despite how painful it is, it's probably the most fun you'll ever have.
