Tell me:
Do you actually want a relationship?
What do you really need from a relationship?
Do you have the time and bandwidth to give this a real, palpable shot?
Or are you merely pursuing the idea of a “successful” relationship that’s informed by the media or your social circle?
Have you already married a seemingly-perfect stranger in your head based on a three-sentence bio?
Do they genuinely seem like they’re making an effort to get to know you?
Or are they just inconsistently responding to you with one-word answers?
Are you bored or should you break up?
In the past
decade, few cultural norms have undergone a more drastic change than dating and
we have the popularization of the dating app to thank for that. But as we all
continue to digitize our day-to-day existence and become increasingly reliant
on connecting through texts and DMs, it’s a trend that’s only continued to
grow.
The once highly stigmatized social media platform that is the
dating app has somehow become the de facto way to
date, a process that has also continued to mystify many.
I’ll be the
first to admit that I’ve never used an app to meet anyone
and I don’t judge anyone that does; however I can’t help but wonder if many are
sabotaging themselves when they swipe right.
Dating apps are the worst. 😏 Nothing natural about it, it's completely fake. 🤷♂️
ReplyDeletePeople are rushing with everything, IMHO. For example, having sex before they actually know the person and are sure they're the best choice for them. Same with a relationship or even marriage. It's sad to me, that there's so many desperate and clueless persons (which is most people) who function like that.
Take it slow. Take the time. Quality over quantity. When you know the person's the right one, preferrably the love of your life, sex, relationship and marriage are green-lighted. 💚💚💚
