What's classed as dating and how do you date?
In this day and age the young generation of 20- somethings have completed changed the game of courting. Gone are the days were you would send romantic love letters to the one who makes your heart skip a beat and becoming official after your fifth date. Skip a few decades and welcome Tinder, Grindr and internet dating. How does one get around meeting Mr/Mrs right? How do we know if they even want the same thing out of a relationship as you and how do you even know that they are real and not a fake account created by a lonely 55 year old who smells like stale cider.
You would think you could just ask them right?... wrong! For the majority of today's generation of 20-somethings seem to be terrified of truly committing in a relationship or labelling it. Most of us being stuck in the situation of 'talking' to someone, but what does that even mean? It's like we have created a new step that fits between a new friend and any dating commitments at all. But how do you go through this 'talking' stage successfully and how do you know you're doing it right? And how many guys can you talk to before it's classed as cheating? And how much do you reveal of yourself when 'talking' to someone?! I have so many questions I need answers to as courting has become such a complex affair! God help me!!
Yes I am single and caught in the trap that is this annoying 'talking' stage. How many people am I talking to? Around 5...is that too much? How many of them do I think I'd still be talking to next week? Probably about 2 or 3. Spending about two years on tinder and other free dating apps have become boring and my head and thumb have started to think if i am indeed too fussy! Dont get me I don't have a que of guys queuing up to talk to me and have a chance to worm their way into my love life but I've had more than a few chances to turn it into something 'official'. So am I asking for too much? Or am I just too old for my time and simply an old soul wanting, a simple 'boyfriend, girlfriend' relationship after a few dates? I will keep you updated on how I'm going on finding my Mr right for now.... probably only one what seems promising but we'll see. Maybe I'll try and do an experiment on how to get a guy in 20 days as 10 days aren't long enough! Or something..
