In today's dating world, many people seem to have no shortage of romantic connections. Their phones are full of messages, they always have someone to text, and they may be involved in multiple situationships at the same time. Yet despite all those connections, they rarely find themselves in a meaningful, committed relationship. Psychology says this behavior is often misunderstood.
At first glance, it may look like these individuals fear commitment or simply enjoy keeping their options open. While that can sometimes be true, research suggests the deeper explanation often involves attachment styles, emotional vulnerability, self-worth, and the way modern dating apps have changed relationship psychology.
