A Not-So-Lucky's Take on Modern Relationships

There's been a major jump in mentalities behind relationships in the past decade. Lasting for A year together is seen as a major achievement, after which, nothing matters! The "L" word is far too often used; It's almost become like it means nothing at all! Talk about a guy, and someone goes like "Oh that one? I dated him for a couple of months!" The scenario has gone from when to commit meant to stick together and make it through life, to meaning just to try and not cheat on each other. Not that I really support my Generation's crass views on "hooking up", but the modern system has it's pro's too! Here's a 'Love it and Shove it' list on Modern Relationships.

Love It: 

• It's a very good way to find out what you want. The more you see how much you dislike the characteristic qualities of your ex, the more you look out for them, making sure you NEVER pick a guy like that ever again.
• Make mistakes how many ever times you want and learn from it! The chances that you're gonna end up with this guy are slim anyway! 
• When you're not really planning to end up together, there's no guilt in leaving!
• "So, are we dating?" "No, this is just a casual fling, so things won't be awkward between us!" :) (subtext: I'm going to use you for my physical needs, and make you feel like a princess in the process!) "ok! :)" 
• When you don't really attach yourself so much, it's easier to remain friends after!

Shove It:

• There's no hope for the community of hopeless romantics! They'll just be more and more broken hearted!
• You get so used to the Date-Dump cycle, that's it's impossible for you to keep things going when the "real Thing" comes by.
• The more people you have dated, the more the skeletons in your closet! One wrong move, and you'll be faced with too many decaying bones falling on you at once! 
• The basic mentality that "we won't end up together anyway" SUCKS for some people, who are looking for something serious, and getting nothing!
• If one of the two gets attached, things are going to get VERY ugly after the impending break up!

Conclusion:

Although the new system is more carefree and gives one more freedom and options, the fact that someone you fall head over heels for someone who might just think of you as just another fish in the ocean SUCKS! The biggest flaw now is one way love, which, as can be observed everywhere, is the worst of its kind! It's not easy to come to a closure, because you can't really blame anyone, because that's how everyone is now! And looking back honestly, chances that you've broken somebody too, is high. Personally, I believe that if there's something, it should be treated with care, try one's best not to send out a wrong signal, and be clear about one's stand and talk things out as much as possible, and the world will be a happier place! :)
