Survival Kit for The Dating Apocalypse
“Love” is the most used word and is misused even more. Nowadays soulmates sound like searching for a specific shell on the beach which can often make you pick the wrong shell. Imagine if Rose would’ve said “I’m sorry Jack but it was a one-night-stand I didn’t mean for you to think we will be dating now,” The end of Titanic” or If Friends TV show had a story about, “Friends with benefits” doesn’t make sense right? But that’s what today’s dating can feel like, it can feel like you’re trying to survive in the dating apocalypse.
Once upon a time, dating meant meeting at an arcade, drinking a milkshake with two straws, being honest, communicating, having clear roles and long-term planning, it was simple and beautiful, but as time went on, things evolved and GenZ introduced a lot of new terms which was creative and modern for some and for others it became a nightmare.
Let’s try to understand today’s dating language –
- Situationship – a relationship that is more than friendship but has no commitment.
- Ghosting – ending communication with someone without giving a reason.
- Benching – keeping someone as a backup option. (I honestly thought it would be related to the gym)
- Breadcrumbing – giving attention or sending flirty messages occasionally to keep the other person interested without having to commit.
- Love-bombing – giving a lot of gifts, attention, affection, and compliments in the very early stage to gain their trust.
- Fizzling – slowly reducing communication which lets the relationship fade out instead of breaking up directly.
It sounds scary, right? Are people doing this? What happened to Romeo who sang songs for Juliet? This does put a lot of questions in our mind but always remember every question has an answer. A lot of people search for their other half to settle down, grow with them, have a family, and have a happily ever after.
Always remember that independence is an essential component in your dating survival kit, and then comes creating a defence against unhealthy habits which affect your relationship. Maintain your privacy without making your partner feel left out or distant. Being your best version, being calm, having clear thoughts should be the first priority.
