Dating isnt what it used to be.
Gabi E. Mulder
It used to be easier… simpler.
Less complicated and convoluted.
From an early age, I fell into the category of being an old soul.
I had an apparent level of maturity and responsibility that my others lacked.
I was more determined than others.
I have always viewed the world completely differently than others my age.
But its not that easy.
To the old soul, love is something special.
Emotion, affection and our energy and attention are sacred to us.
Dating, for the old soul, is hard.
Im going to list them in 5 points:
1.
Dating is so much more complicated than what it needs to be nowadays.
I think this is simply because we solely communicate via texting and apps.
So much communication is lost through such virtual, artificial forms of talking.
We take things the wrong way due to poor communication.
We dont know how to communicate anymore.
I am tired of this nonsense.
There is no romance.
The fact is that nobody tries anymore.
Men used to court women, but now, he will like your social media pictures and comment.
There is no romance in that.
Romance is definitely dead.
Sex has become so readily available that people dont connect on a deeper level, there is no intimacy.
Dating is like a Game.
You know, let me figure out this person a little bit more.
Let me see if this persons really great.
Maybe this thing that I dont like tonight might have just been because theyre nervous or excited.
We evaluate each other immediately.
Wait, shes got a lazy eye.
Why is it so hard to truly come out and say what we want?
Ill tell you why.
And being honest with someone means your desires will most likely not match with theirs.
Many are not honest for avoid a confrontation.
If you want to be with someone, tell them, if you dont like someone hey tell them.
Do not drag people along, or toy with others feelings.
People are afraid of love and being vulnerable.
Its a horrible feeling.
But you have to be brave enough to give people a chance.
At the very least, youll know more about yourself should things go sour.
We live in a non-commitment culture.
So what are we?
Are we seeing other people?
It feels like you have to prove yourself worthy to someone to make it make things official.
It seems to be a challenge every single step of the way.
So as an old soul and hopeless romantic preaching for some reason about our struggles in the dating world.
Our time will come.
Be true to who you are, old soul and love will find its way in.
