re: Is Dating in 2017 & Beyond A Dying Mentality?

I dont think its “dying” so much as people are lazy when it comes to doing whatever it takes to making relationships work, Most of that is because alot of people just dont know how to truly communicate these days and I find there is also a lack of patience these days.

Ive been married for almost 12 years now and my wife and I made a commitment ftom the very start that we woukd always communicate with each other over anything at all. And for that reason, we are able to avoid arguments and fights bc they never escalate to that point. Sure we dont always agree with the others opinion on something, but we talk about it instead of just instantly getting pissed at each other. The younger generation has grown up without having to truly communicate face to face about everything. Sure texting was around when I was growing up, but it wasn’t prevalent like it is now.

As previously mentioned, I think “dating in groups” is ALOT more prevalent these days compared to many years past. I dont think couples get the 1 on 1 time needed to truly get to know each other and also causes them to communicate with only rach ither. Sure we went out with friends as well but I know I went on more dates with only myself and my date alot more than with others.

When it comes down to it, lack of communication is one of the main problems with society as a whole these days. Sure technology has been good but its also been a downfall as well.
