Dating is not a known easy experience, at any age the process of dating can be monotonous and terrifying. What of those who are just starting out? Like the lopsided newborn trying to crawl, dating for twenty somethings is beyond the average terrifying experience. I am 23 years old and have been attempting to date seriously since I was 18. I am no specialty in this case either, the majority of my friends all started dating at the same time as I, and now three years later, some are engaged, others (including me) are single, and a few are stuck in a limbo. So what is dating like in your twenties, what are the lessons learned, and how do we dust ourselves off from bad relationships and bad dates?
These are the years of firsts, in dating this is no exception. Our first love, first kiss, first time being dumped. All of these firsts are established in your twenties. This is the time to be as awkward as possible in order to fully develope into that person you are meant to become. So I begin this blog with a simple message, let yourself be awkward. Make the mistakes in dating now for the lessons you may learn from them. I'm here to to tell you it is going to be all okay. I would now like to continue by sharing stories, lessons, ideas and facts all about dating in your twenties.

What is Love?
(a personal video created with the purpose of exploring the meaning of love )
What is love? love is complicated to say the least. I have heard before, maybe wait until you are thirty to fall in love. Having fun when you're in your twenties seems to mean, 'avoid anything serious.' As Elizabeth Spears said in her Huffington Post article, " learning how to develop a meaningful, sustainable relationship and keep it healthy takes some extended practice," and that practice is best taken place in your twenties. The twenties are an adaptable time, you change frequently and are molding into the person you are meant to be. What a perfect time to discover what love actually is. Sure, I have told you to have fun but also allow yourself to fall into a serious relationship. Experience with this love provides many lessons, lessons that we can take with us for the rest of our lives. " Being able to fully trust someone is so important when trying to figure out your life" (Love article pop sugar.com). Being able to experience this level of trust is just one of the benefits of discovering that love in your twenties. So, go out and allow yourself the freedom to love, you may not know what you're missing if you don't try it out. I hope I can inspire you to discover what love can be, and what it will be in your individual experience.
