In a world where things are so easily accessible, why would people want to put in the work?

Honestly, I dont think most people today even know what romantic really means.

Using that definition, when was the last time someone did something romantic for you?

When was the last time you did something romantic for someone else?

In a world where things are so easily accessible, why would people want to put in the work?

That is the mentality of many young people.

When I met my ex-boyfriend, he was sweet and charming and even bought me flowers.

But we were only two months into our official relationship when he said it was moving too fast.

The truth is he was young, and he was not ready to settle down.

I understand that now, but he was not honest with me when we began dating.

He told me what he thought I wanted to hear.

By keeping the truth from me, he ended up hurting me more.

It is heartbreaking every single time you are led into a relationship under false pretenses.

A failed relationship puts fear into your heart and make you more cautious.

When someone who genuinely cares comes along, you have probably just given up.

Unfortunately, while this seems to work in movies, it rarely works in real life.

This is not a situation to be hopeful about but a time to use your common sense.

Dont assume or expect things to change and dont hurt other people because it sucks to get hurt.

Grow up and dont do things just to look cool in front of others.

We are humanwe are vulnerable because we have feelings.

Perhaps fear of abandonment and failure in the past has made you not even try in the first place.

If you are an adult, it’s crucial that you take responsibility for your actions and decisions.

If you dont know what you want, leave other people alone.Write a letter instead of shooting a text.

Send someone flowers instead of offering to buy a drink at a bar.

Pay attention to what they are saying instead of staring at your phone during dinner.

Chivalry isnt dead, it just isnt practiced much.

We want someone to hold, someone to call our own.

We want someone to love us the same way we love them.

Yes, we have lowered our standards, but now more than ever we also know what we deserve.

Our generation may have ruined romance for now, but its not ruined for good.
