Why is it so hard to find a relationship these days?

The most common reason why its so hard to fall in love is a fear of commitment. Labels can terrify some people, but for others, the uncertainty of where the relationship stands is also terrifying. And if youve found someone you care about (and could potentially even love), then be honest with them about how you feel.
