15 Reasons Why Modern Dating Sucks
Quotesgram.com

I read somewhere recently that Modern Dating should actually be called the "hook-up game", and that made me realize more than ever that Modern Dating sucks. Why can't we go back to the old fashioned dating ways, and do things the right way instead of just "talking" to someone just to hook up with them. Please enjoy these real life struggles of Modern Dating.

1. You do not spend enough time getting to know each other before jumping into a relationship.

It can be considered the "cool thing" to do.

2. The person who cares less has every last drop of the power.

I mean who really wants to be the one more interested. But seriously. What ever happened to two people caring deeply for each other.

3. Phone calls?

What. Are. Those. Who even makes phone calls anymore. Honestly, I would prefer a phone call over a text, but I guess that is just me.

4. "Let's chill" or "Wanna hang out?"

AKA - "Let's hook up." Literally, ew.

5. People are scared of commitment.

Which means they'll stay in a relationship without labels until it all comes crashing down.

6. Social media makes it more tempting and easier to cheat.

Nothing more needs to be said on this.

7. No text back?

That text definitely went through.

8. Plenty of people will not care very much about your relationship.

They will go after you significant other regardless.

10. Being dumped is awful.

They'll probably take the easy was out and dump you by sending you a text message.

11. Your creep level is definitely associated with how attractive you are.

It is the sad, sad truth that is in Modern Dating.

12. You are either going to break up or stay together forever.

Okay, this one can really go with any kind of dating but it can still suck either way.

13. Telling people how you really feel is too difficult.

Usually people will just send you a song or quote that kind of expresses how they may or may not feel about you.

12. F. O. M. O.

The fear of missing out. That is all.

13. Immediately responding to a text is considered a sin.

You have to wait at least twice as long as they did anymore.

14. We have ridiculously high expectations of what a relationship is supposed to be like because of social media.

Because who does not want the typical Tumblr-esque relationship.

15. People are not as moral as they used to be.

It really stinks, but that is how our culture is.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
