Netflix and chill, "talking", friends with benefits, this new generation dating talk does not, personally, work well with me. I was raised by two parents who did love right and wanted me to have nothing less than what they hold together. I was taught that a good man still opens doors and knows the word respect. A man is not afraid to meet the girls parents. My mother taught me that I should respect a guy by being respectful and modest for myself. I needed to love myself before I created a new relationship with someone else.
In today's time, the real meaning of dating has almost completely faded. "Dating" becomes a thing for kids at the age of 10 or even lower. Standards are based only on physically features and how 'easy' she/he is. People have lost the worth in themselves which causes so many problems. Although some people think it is complimenting to be called their 'bae', I believe it is insulting. I know I am not the only one. I believe there are many of us out there that are still looking for that real dating experience, the "old fashion" way.
I dream for a guy that wants to spend time with me in person, to get to know me. I think being with someone face to face is so much better than just texting each other. I want a guy who asks me on a real date. I am not a "Netflix and chill" person. I am a legitimate date where he asks me in person and picks me up at my house. I want him to get out of his car and walk up to my door to meet my parents and walk me out. I want to be able to go on a date where we can talk and see what it is like to be together. I mean the whole reason for dating is to find your future forever. I am hoping that he believes in that too. I like the hand holding and the innocence. I want him to know that he has a chance of touching my heart, not just my body.
When it comes to a relationship, asking to be someones girlfriend or boyfriend should be done in a more respectful way than how people do it today. The guy should be doing the asking, after he has gotten an okay from her parents. The first "I love you" spoken in the relationship should not appear on a screen. It should be when you are looking into that persons eyes. The person you're dating should be your best friend and someone you could imagine spending the rest of your life with.
If you can relate to this, you are not sappy and unrealistic. You are wanting the possible and the necessary. My heart breaks for this world and how they have grown into a world with weakness and little hope of true love. I am choosing not to give into societies outlook on the dating life. I refuse to settle for whatever comes my way. I don't want disrespect. I want real love. The love I know can work. Just know that everyone deserves an old fashion kind of love. God only gives us one life to live, so I am choosing to do my love right.
