Great Relationships are Like Modern Art- J.L

While successful relationships have many things in common, much of the time our assessment of the state of a relationship is purely personal and unrelated to specific events or factors. In other words, what you see in a relationship is like what you see in a piece of Modern Art, but sadly I feel that this ART is slowly getting destroyed and pulverised into smithereens of nothingness because of Modern Day Dating Apps such as Tinder is slowly destroying this Beautiful Art Piece called Romance...

In my opinion, romance isn't exactly dead in this instant gratification era, it only perishes the moment you give up on it. In this Era of Tinder, Grinder and all these nonsensical myriad of Apps and other jazz, some of us have lost sense of time, some of us have lost the capacity to maintain undivided attention with one another, we have lost our level of patience with one another. Tinder, speed dating and other similar quick fix apps forces us to do things in rapid succession, its like a McDonalds Fast Food Drive-Thru of Dating, we have forgotten to slow things down, we have forgotten to have lengthy conversations with one another, some of us cannot even connect, some of us cannot even construct beyond a couple of sentences in the form of a dialogue for any longer than 5 minutes and some of us cannot communicate beyond the use of EMOTICONS. Some of us have forgotten to take nice beach walks, we have forgotten or perhaps become too lazy to put in any effort to go on picnics, tandem bike riding and writing handwritten letters, postcards and love notes to one another, some ppl have lost sense of how to conduct the courting process, to initiate the great deep lengthy conversations, we go on so many shallow meaningless dates as if we are in a bloody hurry hoping it would lead to something or somewhere. We are so incessantly focused on the End Goal that we have lost actual joy in each others' company in discovering the other as we are so much more fixated on the Destination of it rather than savour and enjoy the actual Journey.

I think its time to slow things down, ppl need to start getting to know one another properly (without bringing out one's mobile phone in the other person's presence) talk, meet, laugh, joke, go for that park stroll, feed the ducks in the ponds, really making a conscious effort to take the time to really get to know one another, that's how you reignite passion, that's what romance is about, taking the time to discover one another again and again, again and again.....
