Full moon night, breezy atmosphere, that beachside restaurant, a romantic background score, couple dance, candlelight dinner, cozying up, a real sweet kiss…etc., Didn’t you get the zest of a complete romantic date? Yeah..anyone would, as it sounds but didn’t you find something missing? Well, it did irk me as I questioned myself, where is the love?
Such is the scenario of relationships today. Driven by lust, the need of time, obsession, and mutual benefit, the real essence that binds two people together is actually lost somewhere in the so called love and relationships today. As you surf through our blog, you will not only believe that the definition of love has changed today but will surely end up asking yourself, where is the love?
It makes you look ‘Cool’
“I don’t love her, nor do we have any plans to settle down, but it adds to my popularity man,” said a friend of mine. Gone are those days, when wearing those sexy clothes, riding those hot bikes and driving those expensive cars made you look cool. I mean they do matter, but being in a relationship today is also said to add to your coolness quotient. It’s more like a cool status tag people carry around.
Intimacy and Sex
This is one of the key reasons that form the foundation of many relationships today. While in earlier times intimacy and affairs based on lust was a thing of either the elite class or the ones from villages. But, today the urban youth is no way behind in getting intimate and satisfying their sexual desires for which a relationship has become the ultimate doorway. But, the negative part is, as the intimacy and mutual desire benefit of such relationships is over, these relations also fade faster than they began. Yet, who cares as the majority of the young population just cares for intimacy and sex only. And the ones who really believe in love are the alien people existing on this planet.
Mutual need
Now intimacy and sex is not only that one thing that keeps two people together today as there are other things that matter too. Wait; don’t get mistaken for love but the idea of the mutual benefit of being together. See you stay away from home, parents; you need a shoulder, a companion, someone to share in your financial needs. You do have friends and pocket money also but still, you need that one person to sum-up your hectic stressful life.
Dating is in fashion
Well, for our generation, fashion changes with seasons but dating season is any time on. It is actually a new fashion in town and everyone is obsessed with it. So, next time if you hear a ten-year-old going out on a date with his girlfriend, don’t be shocked as dating is in fashion today though love is outdated.
Being single is a crime
Now, one of my friends has been single for years. Isn’t it an awesome thing for a guy to adore? But, actually speaking in today’s tine it is kind of the opposite. In current times, being single for a long time is actually a sign of worry not for others but the person concerned too. This is because you are judged for either not getting a boyfriend or a girlfriend, incapable, or not really normal and this is the ideology is of the educated class.
Dating apps
There was a time when our great grandparents didn’t even know what a shaadi.com was, our parents would still prefer our family matchmaker to it. But, hail the technology for going aboard and making some apps called dating apps. Wait, these are not the ones that give you advice on how to date but the once that actually help you to chat and meet up that guy or girl you want to hook up with. And we still thought to chat existed only on Facebook. With such handy options as Tinder, Matchify, Badoo etc. available, don’t you think the real idea of a relationship is lost as you have so many options to date and no guarantee of trust and loyalty, while love has no place here?
It is a part of growing up
As kids, we did all that mischiefs and it was ok we were forgiven for being kids. Now, similarly, being in a relationship, I mean love and dating, is a part of your teen and early twenties. As in if you don’t date, how your gonna know what a relationship is, you grow as you explore. And this has been taken dam seriously by our youth as it is a platform for them to explore the opposite sex until at some older age they actually end up knowing what love is.
