Because modern dating takes away everything beautiful about finding someone and falling in love.
It gives people a constant stream of better options and a million ways to hide it.
No matter the weather, he had to see her, every day.
I always hoped for a love like that.
A high-school-sweetheart kind of love.
Something reliable and faultless.
What we have now is modern dating.
And it effing sucks.
Because modern dating takes away everything beautiful about finding someone and falling in love.
It gives people a constant stream of better options and a million ways to hide it.
Its a hot-spot for all those men who want to have their cake and eat it too.
Who, for some unknown reason, will never be satisfied with just one girl.
It shatters this notion that when youre first dating someone, they are only interested in you.
It takes away the idea that movies and books have fed us, that courting is a phase whichA.
Happens mutually between two people.
It puts us in a constant state of limbo but refusing to believe thats where we are.
It turns us into people we never used to be-confused and needy and pointlessly hopeful.
It denies that little girl who still lives inside all of us, the right to a beautiful story.
It has replaced the sound of their voice with emoticons and one word answers.
With sometimes, no reply at all, just three little dots which stop and start again.
Which disappear all together,just like him.
And the worst part is, we still know we deserve more.
We still know what is possible.
We can still listen to the stories our grandparents tell us.
But what will we tell our grandchildren?
What kind of magic will we give them to dream about?
What will they hope for?
Because I want it to be more than this.
It has to be more than this.
