The way we date in college or just dating in general for our generation has completely changed the dating game. With us being heavily involved on social media our dating has become built around it and influenced by it.
“Being behind the screen makes it easier to talk to someone then in front of their face” Orwyn Allicock, Freshman pre-med biology major, on why our generation uses social media and apps to date.
Apps like Tinder and Bumble were created for dating purposes. Instead of meeting new people face to face they are all put in one place. Other apps like twitter and snapchat have become normal places to meet new people.
Relationship goals have become things that should be a norm in a relationship. People seek and build relationships based off tweets and other meaningless post. Instead of getting to know and individual and growing with them.
Our generation is also afraid of commitment. People rack up one-night stands, “situatonships’ side-pieces, and other things because they feel as if they can’t be all about one person. Sure, everyone tweets about how their faithful and ready to settle down but fail to change their actions
The cyber connections have ruined our chances at real love.
