If you would have asked my several years ago if I believed in dating and finding a guy that was right for you, I would have totally said the process worked. As of today, though, with modern technology taking over the dating world I would say its un- realistic to think that you are ever going to be able to ever get that traditional pick you up at the door take you to dinner classic romantic type of thing you are hoping for. Most girls these days simply get excited if they get a notification from tinder saying they got another match.
Romance these days seems to go as far as tagging you in memes and creating a snap streak with you. I think it's sad that most guys and girls can't even confidently say what they are to each other. When asked by their friends what they are to each other the farthest most “couples” get is what is established as the talking phase. Which is somewhere between friends and an actual relationship. Meaning you have all the means of being committed to each other without the actual commitment. Which, in today's society, is everyone’s dream come true. Most people only stay in this so called talking phase for about a month or two before moving on to go through the cycle all over again with the next person.
Don’t get me wrong, I know people in the world today do find true love and are as happy as can be. A lot of my friends are getting engaged and some of my friends are even starting new relationships. Although, for us who have not yet found that date that leads us to something’s that works, I hope we never settle for this modern definition of dating. We all deserve more than a Twitter mention to make us feel special. As girls and guys, we all deserve the respect to be shown that we as individuals that we are more than our profile pictures and booty calls and I can only be hopeful that one day we can go back to old fashion dating so that we can all feel special again.
