It will ALWAYS blow my mind that people think having a child is less of a commitment than marriage

[nellsn.]

DID I OR DID I NOT SAY THIS?!

People need to understand that a good relationship looks boring AF. From the outside, y’all don’t do anything. You barely go anywhere. And why is that? Because you’re not concerned with performing for the rest of the world. You and your partner have plenty of fun together. You’re not bored with one another. You derive pleasure simply from existing in one another’s presence and sharing time and space. This doesn’t mean that grand gestures and elaborate trips are bad. But realistically, that’s not the norm for most people. Not even the rich.

You speaking so many facts sis. I’m 26 and never had a real boyfriend. I’ve realized when you’re traditional and really want a man to date you your love story really might take a while in this generation 😂 I’ve started focusing on me and my personal growth for the time being. Dating is nothing I feel like I’m missing out on.

Fine Shyt is literally the funniest word I recently discovered. It’s not cute 😂

[kayyjayy]

This current dating culture has almost everyone with anxious avoidant attachment styles, we saw this with that group “are we dating the same man /woman “

[Liz-zgmf]

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 9 months. We were in the taking stage for 3 months prior and I gave him an ultimatum. He confessed the reason why he waited so long is because he was scared of getting hurt.

We also agreed not to post each other because there’s people that will sabotage your relationship. We’re very boring and have our conversation routines but we’re soo obsessed with each other ❤️

[sharezbrown]

totally agree not only does this go for romantic relationships but I definitely see it for friendships as well. Not only are people emotionally unavailable but they're also not emotionally aware of themselves and others.

Problem is people dont want who wants them back. And who they want instead, they don’t qualify for them

[TheinmysDiaries]

This is so true. Situationships bother me a lot. But it’s so rampant in this time period

[journeythrough]

I feel like the dating pendulum is gonna swing in a different direction within the next 10 years. If we want something serious, most of us have to start saying “no” to things and situations that don’t serve our core values. And if we don’t have core values, we don’t need to be dating yet.

[Veronike._]

Stop bc this is literally why I’ve decided that im liking going to be staying single for the rest of my life and im 18. This formula of “situationships” “3 month rules” and red flags etc. are too much to handle tbh..i’ll wait on my person but until then im done 😭

[Daniellelenae]

If you know you’re not looking for a boyfriend it’s no point in dating unless u don’t wanna be serious lol it’s like a contradiction. U can’t expect somone to continue to say they wanna girlfriend etc if your barely responding etc

[tranquilmomentswithme]

Dating for us Gen z is a lot but I cant give up on true love. He will surely see me because I'm working on my self daily.

[Renee-pviz]

I'm 23, never been in a relationship, or even been on a date it's ridiculous😂
It is basically impossible to date if you're not on dating apps because nobody approaches or if they do they are weird 🤷🏽‍♀️ how do people meet normal people in real life to date is the question?

[yunhosparrot]

21 and never had a boyfriend or situationships! Yeah there’s time where I feel sad about it but overall I’m glad I didn’t rush into anything or settled for anyone less than my standards. Instead I’m focusing on my happiness and finishing uni, I still have plenty of time to get a bf, get married and have my family 🫶🏽

[Desmondenae_]

Let's normalize staying single and not compromising your values until you meet someone was has the same standards and values as you. Sometimes people obsess over the idea of "I shouldve experienced this by this age" but that's stupid society standards.
Its better to stay single and hold on to your values. You're not missing out on anything, not the heartbreak, not being used or having kids with the wrong person.
Its okay to not be experienced in relationships because you don't want to lower your standards. People should add to your life in a positive way and if they only add stress & tears then they don't need to be there.
We have to ignore this idea of doing something sexually or being in relationships by a specific age.

[dogmum]

I’d argue that this has been the case since the inception of social media tbh

[owamuhmza]

When a man loves a woman it’s a matter of urgency to marry her. My husband pursued me relentlessly, came home to meet my family and get my parents’ approval etc, he changed jobs to be better able to prove to my father that he could provide for us, he left no stone unturned and within 9 months of meeting, he proposed and we got married two months later. I felt honoured by him to be worthy of all that effort and told him so on our wedding day. I vowed to spend my life endeavoring to deserve him. 18 happy years, 6 children, loss of family members to cancer and a cross continent move later, he has only grown better and better. He’s determined to be a great husband and father no matter what life throws at us. The man has to want it because he’s the leader and it’s easy to follow a strong leader.

its rough out here, thanks for this video

[mikaylawilliams]

as a gen z, i went on a dating hiatus when i turned 20 in 2023, because i was tired and burnt out from talking stages, the type of men that i was attracting etc. and for me at 20 years old to be burnt out was VERY telling on what’s going on in the current generation. fast forward 2 years and i’m in a relationship that honestly i wasn’t prepared for or even that invested in. but when someone is showing interest in you and you’ve never experienced anything like that before, it does change. just keep your heads up!💕
