Did social media kill the incurable romantics?
Partners will also go through your Facebook profile, checking which girls or guys like your photos or comments a lot and then question you about it.
Do incurable romantics still exist?
You know those types that believe in spoiling their loved one for every reason under the sun? They still believe that there’s someone special for everyone and have the most amazing stories about how they met their partner. These stories often involve crossing paths with that special someone at a random place, eyes meeting from across the room, and then feeling that instant connection that draws the two of them closer.
In today’s society, if you were to ask someone how they met, it would go something like this. ‘We had mutual friends on Facebook, he liked my profile picture, sent me a message asking for my WhatsApp number, and the rest, as they say, is history.’
Ok, so with the rise of social media, we’ve slowly seen the fall of chivalry, romanticism and loyalty. The most romantic thing you see nowadays is someone posting on their partner’s Facebook timeline about how madly in love they are. Then a few weeks later, both people change their profile to single.
Just because you can message a person daily, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to make an effort to see them, or an effort to show them, you truly care
Trust also becomes a huge factor with social media. It’s so easy to be chatting with more than one person at a time, telling them exactly the same thing. Partners will also go through your Facebook profile, checking which girls or guys like your photos or comments a lot and then question you about it.
The only positive that social media has brought to the dating scene is bringing people closer together quicker. You no longer have to wait for a few weeks for a letter to be delivered or wait a month or more before you could see a person again. Now you can video call them any time of day…or night and chat to them constantly thanks to instant messengers. You also could be chatting to someone that lives in the same area, that you’ve seen walk by you daily, but never had the guts to approach before. Though social media has made dating easier, and harder at the same time, does it really mean that romance has to die? Just because you can message a person daily, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to make an effort to see them, or an effort to show them, you truly care. And no, posting ‘you’re the best thing to ever happen to me’ on Facebook isn’t showing them you care. Make an effort, be romantic and don’t rely on social media to run or ruin your relationships.
