18 Ugly Truths About Modern Dating. by PrinceCharmiing(m): 9:06pm On Sep 18, 2014
1. The person who cares less has all the
power. Nobody wants to be the one who’s
more interested.

2. Because we want to show how cavalier
and blasé we can be to the other person,
little psychological games like ‘Intentionally
Take Hours Or Days To Text Back’ will
happen. They aren’t fun.

3. A person being carefree because they
have zero interest in you looks exactly like
a person being carefree because they think
you’re amazing & are making a conscious
effort to play it cool. Good luck deciphering
between the two.

4. Making phone calls is a dying art.
Chances are, most of your relationship’s
communication will happen via text, which
is the most detached, impersonal form of
interaction. Get familiar with those
emoticon options.

5. Set plans are dead. People have options
and up-to-the-minute updates on their
friends (or other potential romantic
interests) whereabouts thanks to texts &
social media. If you aren’t the top priority,
your invitation to spend time will be given a
“Maybe” or “I’ll let you know” and the
deciding factor(s) will be if that
person has offers more fun/interesting than
you on the table.

6. Someone who hurt you isn’t
automatically going to have bad karma. At
least not in the immediate future. I know it
only seems fair, but sometimes people cheat
and betray and move on happily while the
person they left is in shambles.

7. The only difference between your actions
being romantic and creepy is how attractive
the other person finds you. That’s it, that’s
all.

8. “Let’s chill” & “Wanna hang out?” are
vague phrases that likely mean “let’s
hookup” — and while you probably hate
receiving them, they’re the common way to
invite someone to spend time these days,
and appear to be here to stay.

9. Some people just want to hookup and if
you’re seeking more than sex, they won’t
tell you that they’re the wrong person for
you. At least, not until after they score your
prize. While human decency is ideal,
honesty isn’t mandatory.

10. The text message you sent went
through. If they didn’t respond, it wasn’t
because of malfunctioning phone carrier
services.

11. So many people are scared of
commitment and being official that they’ll
remain in a label-free relationship, which
blurs lines and only works until it doesn’t.
I’ve said it many times before, I’ll say it
again – “we’re just talking” is opening the
door for cheating that technically wasn’t
cheating because, hey,
you weren’t together together.

12. Social media creates new temptations
and opportunities to cheat. The private
messaging and options for subtle flirtation
(e.g. liking of pictures) aren’t an excuse or
validation for cheating, but they certainly
increase the chances of it happening.

13. Social media can also create the illusion
of having options, which leads to people
looking at Facebook as an attractive people
menu instead of a means of keeping contact
with friends & family.

14. You aren’t likely to see much of
someone’s genuine, unfiltered self until
you’re in an actual relationship with him or
her. Generally people are scared that
sincerely putting themselves out there will
result in finding out that they’re too
available, too anxious, too nerdy, too nice,
too safe, too boring, not funny enough, not
pretty enough, not some other person
enough to be embraced.

15. Any person you get romantically
involved with you’ll either wind up staying
with forever or breaking up with them at
some point. These are equally terrifying
concepts.

16. When dating, instead of expressing how
they feel directly to you, a person is more
likely to post a Facebook status or Instagram
a Tumblr-esque photo of a sunset with a
quote or song lyric of someone else’s words
on it, and while it may not mention your
name, it’s blatantly directed at you.

17. There are plenty of people who’ll have
zero respect for your relationship and if
they want the person you’re with, they’ll
have no qualms with trying to overstep
boundaries to get to ‘em. Girl code and guy
code are wishful thinking and human code
isn’t embedded in everyone.

18. If you get dumped, it’s probably going to
be pretty brutal. People can cut ties over
the phone and avoid seeing the tears
stream down your face or end things via
text and avoid hearing the pain in your
cracking voice and sniffling nose. Send a
lengthy text and voilà, relationship over.
The easy way out is far from the most
considerate.
