5 Things Romantic People Hate About Modern Dating

We can all agree that the way our parents dated and the way we are dating now are very different. Chivalry was very alive then and Netflix and chill wasn't actually a thing, or maybe it was and it wasn't all that popular. For the few people who are hopeless romantics who catch feelings easily they might hate a few things about modern dating. Things like…

1. NOT LABELING THE RELATIONSHIP: Everything is left undefined, you can't even say you're dating someone you've been hanging out with for months because it's not entirely true but it's not entirely false either. You can't say if he/she likes you because they haven't really confessed that to you yet and you can't say that you're not single, because technically you are.

2. SOCIAL MEDIA PROBLEMS: You can't get over the very random like that you saw this morning on someone else's selfie, or the flirtatious comment left on someone else's picture, or adding someone attractive on Facebook. Your mind will always think of the worst case scenario because you never know if it's platonic or something more.

3. WAITING BEFORE HAVING "THE CONVERSATION": It comes naturally to you to say how you feel, even if it's too early, so you're always caught between wanting to say how you feel and waiting for the right moment when the other person is ready or if you're sure they feel the same way.

4. PLAYING MIND GAMES WITH TEXTING: For you, words of affirmation are everything and having to wait a few hours to text back, or keeping your messages short and cool is your worst nightmare because you have so much more you would like to say and you hate that responding immediately makes you look 'too available.'

5. HAVING OPTIONS: You hate the fact that the person you're interested in is probably seeing other people and you would like to be the only one because when you like someone, you usually don't date other people. So you like this concept to be reciprocated.
