“Twenties” is when a person’s age falls between 20 and 29, and relationships at this point can be daunting. This age bracket is agreeably the peak of one’s youth, and it’s filled with several challenges in career, growth, changes, and understanding the complexities of life generally.

Relationship in your twenties is essential, but most people find it difficult to locate ‘the one’. Some people get lucky in finding the right person even before their twenties, while others may have to wait until much later. Aside from the twenties being the busiest phase of one’s life, here are three reasons why getting a serious relationship can be difficult.

You are still exploring yourself, needs, and emotions

Lack of connection is one primary reason relationships hit the rocks. Couples must have a special bond that exceeds sexual intercourse or fun activities like clubbing. So, as a person, you must understand yourself and what you want before you can connect with someone.

The twenties is a good time for self-exploration and understanding your needs and emotions. After this phase, what you want in a relationship and as a person becomes clearer. But until then, you may have to keep trying, and who knows, you might get lucky.

Career Can Hinder Relationships in Your Twenties

Twenties involve hard work in every area of life, including building a successful career. This is a period when you must focus on building your career, which can be time-consuming. Managing a serious relationship in your twenties while advancing in your career can be very demanding. This is why most people would instead focus on their careers and pick up on their love life later.

Commitment Issues

There’s a lot to deal with in your twenties, and most people don’t know how to manage this situation, especially when it comes to relationships. This can lead to a lack of commitment, even in relationships. At this stage, it’s essential to prioritize, and if a relationship is on top of your list, then go for it by all means. However, attaining an appreciative level of financial stability is advisable before committing to a serious relationship. The best time to work towards securing that big bag is in your twenties.
