Asking for a friend: I'm in my 20s, living at home with my parents and trying to date, but it's so miserable I'm thinking of emigrating

Living at home with parents in your 20s makes dating difficult, leading to loneliness and frustration, as potential partners often expect privacy and independence.

Many daters unmatch when they learn you still live at home, revealing a societal stigma that banner unhoused individuals as unworthy partners.

There's a strong pressure to conform to relationship norms, which often include having personal space and privacy, making it hard for those at home to connect.

Considering emigration seems like a viable solution to escape the constraints of the current dating environment, emphasizing how location can impact personal relationships.
