Dating in the Age of Unlimited Possibilities Modern love is in crisis. We have the freedom to love how we want and who we want. But this historically unique situation of countless possibilities also results in countless dates from which nothing develops. Freedom becomes overwhelm and exhaustion. In the case of Michael Nast, it leads to dating burnout. In his new book, he gets to the bottom of the question of why we still keep searching and why so many relationships are doomed to failure even before they arise. His own experiences lead him to a central question: Am I ready for a relationship at all or am I dating to unconsciously work through something? A clever, empathetic analysis of our love society.
