First, I want to start off by saying “Modern Dating” isn’t for a majority of people. I know, it wasn’t for me. But I think we need to take steps away from modern dating. In general, it’s just a bunch of nonsense.

Since when did it become appropriate to wait the calculated amount of time to respond to the person we might actually like?

And not seeing each other two nights in a row, or you basically are official. And waiting for him to text you first, since you texted first the other day.

And even if you do go on a date, you’ll be waiting the few days pondering what it meant. Does he like me? Will he text me today? Does he want to go out again too? You can also never assume you’re nothing more than casual. And you’ll never have the chance nor actually want to share your feelings because the jump from casual to feelings is just too big to jump.

Modern dating isn't about genuine time, and talking. It's all about company. It makes you feel less lonely in a world where you are surrounded by people. But in the end, you're still alone. You have no one to share your feelings with or share your favorite part of your day with.

Modern dating is made out to be calculated thoughtlessness. rather than showing genuine feelings. I know, you all have better things to do with your time than make it seem like you aren’t interested in someone. Because that’s too overrated to actually share your feelings.

But it’s as simple as liking someone, and wanting to spend time with them. It’s not about waiting three days. If you like someone, you should be able to tell them, and not be afraid. And a girl caring not be categorized as needy.

So what ever happened to telling someone you like them? When did that become cliché? When did being in a relationship become frowned upon?

Social media has made “being in a relationship” as something that involves a great ordeal. Dating isn’t all what social media makes it seem. It’s what you make of it. Being in a relationship is about enjoying the time you spend with one another, and loving every moment of it. Not being afraid to talk whether it be about whether or not you’re having a bad day or what you’re doing at the very moment. It’s about sharing your feelings, and not being afraid they’ll find someone better the very next morning they leave your bed.

Well here’s to a better day, and a better world. I think it’s time we all start talking. Put the calculated thoughtlessness aside, and actually tell someone if you like them. Share our genuine feelings, and actually talk. And if you don’t, find someone you want to spend time with.
