Dating. A term filled with mockery. In a culture where those who feel the least are the kings, relationships have become a battle of who can show the least amount of emotions. That shows who has the real power in the relationship. We are the generation that has literally taken emotions and broken them. Showing them is too much weakness but you also don't want to be an emotionless monster. How on earth did it come to that? When did it become hard to walk up to someone and just say "Hey I like you?" If you don't like them back, be honest, if you do like them, be honest, if you just want a hook up, be honest.

And it's very frustrating to watch. The girls I'm friends with stress over every word that boys say or text to them, delving in for some hidden meaning. Crying when they realize that the boy who was stringing them along was doing just that. I can sit there and tell them, "Hey just say what you want to say and mean it," and hey will reply back with, "Well that's too clingy." WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S TOO CLINGY? You want him to know how you feel but you don't want to tell him literally just dancing around the subject. Guys, you do the exact same thing. I know you do.

So please as a generation can we please stop "talking" and please stop replying that feelings are too clingy. Can we stop being a generations of liars and just tell the truth to each other. I don't want my future children to feel confused and anxious when they like someone but don't know what to do. Let's try to not hate on someone for showing their emotions just because they are being human.
