But if youre looking for something serious, good luck to you.
Its not going to be as easy as it used to be.
This is why dating is so hard for those of us who want something real.

Dating isnt dating anymore.
Now, its binge-watching Netflix and meaningless fucking and missed opportunities.
It could mean they want to be friends with you or date you or fuck you.
You just have to guess what outfit would work the best and pray that youre right.
No one wants to get serious while theyre still young.
Marriage is the only thing they dont want at a young age.
They want to be single for as long as possible to keep their options open.
Looking for something serious isnt the norm anymore.
We cant be honest about what we want.
We can say that were looking for something serious, but we cant go into too much detail.
They dont want to hear that.
Were a generation of skeptics.
Half of all marriages end in divorce.
Were given depressing statistics about love that push us away from real relationships.
Most people would rather keep their distance from love than risk getting their heart shattered.
Thats why there arent that many men and women on the market.
Too many people are technology-obsessed.
We can meet someone on Tinder.
We can text them for months.
Theyre too comfortable with their technology.
Theyd rather fall asleep next to a phone than another person.
Everybodys been fucked over before.
There are enough assholes out there to screw over the entire population.
That means pretty much everyone you meet will have some sort of baggage.
Theyre all so terrified of love, because theyve already been hurt.
They settle for meaningless sex instead.
Were meant to follow very specific rules.
We shouldnt text them too much.
We shouldnt sleep with them too early.
We shouldnt come across as too eager.
Societys guidelines create boundaries that keep us from moving at a natural pace and developing something real.
Life likes to screw with us.
Thats just the way the world works.
It likes to screw with us.
We just have to sit there and take it until destiny decides its our turn.
Assholes get in the way.
Liars screw up our plans.
Well say that we want something real, and then an asshole will swoop in, playing the part.
It wastes perfectly good time we couldve spent with someone serious about us.
We cant rush fate.
All of the people out there who want casual flings will find what theyre looking for.
But people like us, people who want something serious, get screwed.
We cant rush things.
We cant force things.
