A boy meets a girl, asks her on a date, picks her up and drops her off at her front door and if things go well, they keep seeing each other and eventually begin dating.

It used to be so easy. Today, no one is interested in going on a real date or forming an actual relationship. "Boyfriends" and "girlfriends" have been replaced with "the person I'm talking to" or "the person I have a thing with". We live in a noncommittal age and that makes it almost impossible to tell what people want.

It happens all the time; girls tell a guy they don't want to be exclusive, but then are hurt when he talks to other girls. They hook up right after meeting, but then they're upset when he doesn't want something serious. There are so many rules and since everyone has a different definition of what's okay and what's not, it's easy for people to get hurt.

Defining a relationship is so hard because you never know how the other person feels, what they want and what they are telling other people. There's no romance in relationships today. What do we do in a generation where meaningful conversations have been replaced by emojis, Snapchatting is a form of flirting and "Netflix and chilling" is considered a date?

Thanks to online websites and apps such as Tinder, it's even more difficult to commit when you can find hookups almost instantaneously. People just don't seem to take responsibility for their actions anymore. There's nothing wrong with not wanting something serious, but for those who do, settling for something casual just because that's what everyone is doing is a huge form of self-betrayal.

We have to admit modern dating has changed, and while that's not necessarily a terrible thing, we still shouldn't have to deal with anyone's bullshit. If someone doesn't want to take you seriously, they aren't worth your time.
