".......We’re entering half-assed relationships and ending them with even less attention. Most of our relationships are over before we can say we know what that person looked like.
We’re just not responding, not answering and not giving a f*ck. We’re throwing our hearts at the first person who direct messages us then taking them back at the first sign of something better.
The problem with today’s dating culture is that there isn’t one. There’s a hook-up culture, and within that hook-up culture, there’s shallow, biased and surface feelings that we’re trying to use to get away from the real ones.
We’re guarding ourselves so that we never really have to face that inevitable heartbreak that almost always comes with every relationship. We’re refusing to enter real relationships, and we’re also refusing to officially end any of them.
By constantly keeping people on back burners, refusing to end things with real closure and never starting or stopping on any real terms is more damaging than experiencing the heart-wrenching pain of a real, honest breakup.
Because at least with the pain of a terrible and sad ending, there’s the hope of a fresh start.
Without this ending, without ever getting that closure we need, we’re refusing to let ourselves ever enter into something without carrying along our past five “failed” still open, never-ended “relationships.”
Because we were never really dating to begin with.Because we were never really dating to begin with.
Because the relationship was never real.
Because you never confirmed what was in your head and what wasn’t.
Because Tinder.
Because we’ve confused lust and love.
Because Snapchat.
Because we’re too scared.
Because we’re perpetually connected.
Because there’s nothing worse than getting your heart broken.
Because you can’t burn a Facebook photo.
Because they’re everywhere.
Because they’re on Gchat.
Because they’re on Instagram.
Because they’re on LinkedIn.
Because we hate change.
Because your next chance encounter is only a swipe away.
Because not responding to a text isn’t a breakup.
Because no one knows how to say goodbye.
Because we’re too chicken sh*t to be honest.
Because we’d rather just be casual than vulnerable.
Because casual is often only casual for one party."
