Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?

If you mentioned when exactly you were young, you may get more precise answers.

I think the big influences in the past 20 years have been mass free online porn, dating apps that mislead people into thinking they can always do better, and social media. They have all had highly negative effects IMHO, though the last 2 have also had some positive effects too.

Were you young in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? Dating has been changing in every decade.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.
