This week we ask ourselves ‘should you date in your 20s?’ For some, getting deeper into our 20s means getting further into our long term relationships, and for others being single. We discuss whether there’s really a right way to live your twenties: single or dating.

We begin the episode with a segment where we ask our followers whether they care more about freedom or finding love in their 20s; whether they’d rather meet the person they’re going to end up with now or live out the rest of their 20s single; and hear more of their thoughts about this dilemma.

We decide that there isn’t really an answer to this question, but we wanted to examine it more closely because so many people our age feel like they shouldn’t date in their 20s to fulfil an idea that is sold to us of what our 20s should look like; indeed many people end relationships for this very reason: they feel as if dating in your 20s is pointless if you’re unlikely to end up with the person, and that you might as well embrace your freedom.

Navigating dating in your 20s can be difficult, but we think that in the end, it comes down to whether you think you should date for fun, or for experience, rather than for the end result. As long as you’re happier in a situation than you are on the flip side, you should stick with it, and it might ultimately be good for you to make some dating mistakes in your 20s.

We wish you all the best of luck! We know dating in your 20s isn’t always the most fun, especially when you have to begin to consider whether you’re ready to commit to the person you’ve been dating throughout uni going in to the real world, but we’re always here if you need any tips or at least want to make yourselves feel better by hearing about our mistakes and poor judgement.
