And the replies went to my spam folder. </p> <p>@Portboston: Thank you so much for the podcast rec! Something like that could be a great way to just hear other stories and familiarize myself with the particular struggles of dating in this era we are in!</p> <p>@hitchhiker: That is definitely what I’m already doing! But I feel like even in my empathy and listening to their (limited, personal) viewpoints, I still feel confused and at a loss about just the ethos of the current dating scene. I didn’t realize HOW different it was. I feel fortunate to not have to navigate it myself right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-relate-to-gen-zers-who-are-in-the-dating-scene#post-2928074 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 05:19:28 +0000 hitchhiker 2928074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you just listen with curiosity and affirm their struggles without offering advice or judgement? If these are people you care about, I don’t think you need to relate to them to hear their experiences and validate them. It’s probably good experience for parenting teens and adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-relate-to-gen-zers-who-are-in-the-dating-scene#post-2928070 Mon, 06 Mar 2023 21:31:51 +0000 Portboston 2928070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met my ex husband before most social media and dating apps but found myself single in 2019 so I got a taste of what it’s like now. I recommend listening to U Up? Podcast. Modern dating advice for dating and relationships in 2022. Very informative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-relate-to-gen-zers-who-are-in-the-dating-scene#post-2928069 Mon, 06 Mar 2023 16:09:18 +0000 togetherthroughlife 2928069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey! This is quite a random topic but maybe there are others who have experience and can relate.</p> <p>I got married and had kids way before the other people in my generation of the family. Now I am a mom and a wife with a career and “established lifestyle” and I’m finding it hard to relate to siblings and other family members who are not in the same stage of life as me. I know this is not uncommon, but I guess I just wonder if I’m making enough (or the right kind of) effort.</p> <p>See, I got married before the age of Instagram and TikTok and Bumble and Hinge…and I’ve been told (and wholly believe) that I just simply have no clue what it’s like to date in this current day and age.</p> <p>There are girls younger than me in my life who I deeply care about, who casually date and I admittedly don’t know how to relate to them. I married young, I married the first person I was even in a serious relationship with! We got lucky but it makes me feel…out of touch. I don’t want to be out of touch.</p> <p>Does anyone have any thoughts or resources, blogs, books, ANYthing that could help me relate to those in my life who are just living a totally different romantic life than the one I have lived? These are special family relationships and I don’t want them to just fall apart. :( </p>
