Love...Fed Ex-ed ???

Living in a cosmopolitan city, one thing that you are sure to site is that of a teenage (or even 20 something) boy and a girl together, hands in hands, sitting under a tree or hangin' out in malls. Ask them (individually), do they plan to marry each other and, unhesitatingly most of the "pairs" will say- "Hell No...!!!". Which causes one to wonder, How do you get to define the relationship that you guys are in ??? And ones again, the reply is prompt as ever- "We are dating.", complemented with a smile.

I think the word these guys should use is "passing time", with each other. Each one considering to be taking advantage of other not knowing that the feeling are mutual. Which brings us to think, why after-all, they call each other "Love Birds", hang out as a couple, when neither one has any intentions of spending the rest of the life together. Could it be the sheer desperation to be spotted with someone, or simply just "for fun".

One of my friends told me that a person needs to try everything (not exactly in those words) and there are (and I quote) "MANY SEXY GIRLS OUT THERE". Why is it that we have to go for many when clearly we are going to marry only one (provided we do)... In todays career oriented life, when love letters has been replaced by e- mail, naughty innocent comments with SMS and almost anything can be delivered to our door step, can love be fed-exed too (and used like any other article, use it and dispose it). And if so, whats causing this trend.
One couldn't help but wonder:
Are we playboys and sluts or just romantically challenged...???

Nice one. You just hit the nail on the head. Relationships are just taken too casual these days when indeed they affect the future lives in some way or an other in not so casual way.

If you have a problem with such relationships then i am sure you can very well get into a long term 'respectable' relationship yourself...
or are you saying that you have a problem with the times that we have come into...where evrything is temporary and thre has been a loss of roots...in which case why just blame relatioships there are so many things in which you dont get into long term association,like taking a house on rent...why doesnt everybody buy a house for life??...perhaps because they dont know for how long they will be needing it...life moves on...
why pass a moral judgement on other peoples lives even on a blog?
dont we already have too many people doin that to us in real life?

Nice one !!!
I think relationships are not named properly these days ... seeing someone doesn't necessarily mean marrying them ... and the answer "Hell, No" isn't all that is said... "I don't know' or "May be" is something we hear often in response to the same question.
