WHO SAID ROMANCE ISN'T DEAD?..

Because it is, no matter what anybody says, romance is nearly extinct.

To be honest, I'm completely sick of seeing things on Facebook and Twitter of kids saying they love their boyfriends/girlfriends after being with them for maybe an hour. What happened to a nervous guy being pushed by his friend to ask a girl he likes out to dinner with flowers?

What happened to going on dates before the first kiss and getting married before sex? (Maybe a bit of a stretch there but the concept still stands) It just annoys me nowadays how younger people, my age and sometimes younger find it completely acceptable to sleep around or date someone for a day. 

To be honest, whoever knows me personally will know I've never been in a relationship for more than a month and it's probably because of the way I think. Okay, yes, if I see a cute guy I want to be with him and being a girl I usually rush into things and that's how everything gets ruined. But with the way I think, if a cute guy came up to me all shy and asked me out on a date, no strings attached, no kiss at the end, no rushing into relationships, I'd probably immediately say yes.

I understand it when people say, "Now I'm single, I'm really happy." But I also understand it when people say, "I wish I had someone to cuddle up with at the end of the day.." The thing about relationships now is that both girls and boys find it okay to hurt the other half, by cheating, ignoring, beating (yes, it happens to both genders I know) The amount of people I know my age who have been cheated on is disgusting and unacceptable. I don't think anybody has heard of feelings anymore.

That's another topic really though isn't it? Sex? I mean the amount of people I know who would happily sleep with someone the one time and leave it is quite horrifying.. It also annoys me how couples rush into sex. I don't understand how girls have gone low enough to just give their virginity up to someone because her friends have, or because she thinks the guy will leave her if she doesn't agree. It's safe to say finding girls my age with their virginity still intact is pretty rare nowadays.

Yes, I can understand you losing it to someone you've been with for ages and you're sure you're ready but after a few weeks, maybe a month or two? No sorry.. I just don't understand you.. 

P.S. Sorry for the rant and the topic.. I just got annoyed about the whole subject for some reason.
