We get so caught up in trying to find the right one.

On Tinder, we swipe left even if we have no idea about that person. As long as they have the perfect smile and bright blue eyes, that's all that matters.

On Match.com, we type in everything we’re looking for in a person in hopes to find the right one and then get confused when no one we like pops up.

We’ve let technology take over love that was once so pure to the world.

It seems like our generation is in a rush to find the perfect person. We are reaching for the one to spend the rest of our lives with and forever take cute pictures to flash to the world of Instagram and Facebook.

But what happened to the love our parents and grandparents found?

My Nanny used to make my Popop wait 15 minutes past their original date time. She said, “It’s because I knew he’d always wait for me, and I wanted to make sure I was worth waiting for, for him."

Now you can’t even have someone wait 15 minutes to answer a text without thinking they are uninterested or cheating on you.

There was a time where you didn’t have to overload your Instagram newsfeed to let people know you are really “in love” with someone. There was a time where people went out on dates to really get to know each other, not just go and explore around just to take those VSCO-worthy pictures.

Stop trying to find love through one of the many things that makes our society so toxic. I promise you, there is so much more to a person than just their Facebook profile.

Think about it before you swipe right.
