How risk is running Gen-z dating lives

(CNN)– Some experts say members of Gen-z are struggling with dating.

Unpublished research from a Montclair State University professor shows they’re more risk-averse than previous generations.

The professor says social media can turn private matters like rejection into public information.

A study from earlier this year looks at people ages 22 to 35 so it includes part of Gen-z.

It shows only about one-in-five women that age say they’re confident about approaching a romantic interest.

For men, the number is one-in-three.
