Dating Rewritten: How Gen Z Is Creating Its Own Love Story

Now dating does not remain as easy as it seems, it comes with a lot of stages. The freedom to choose someone has led to an entirely new pattern, some of which blur the boundaries of commitment. The thought that there is always a better option available makes it hard for people to maintain the loyalty in the relationship . The exhaustion due to the repetition of the same pattern is true; it makes the relationship weak and doubtful. It also ambitiously interrupts a human being and repeating the same pattern with a new individual fears most of them with the idea of getting hurt again.

Modern dating has introduced us with some new terms, some may be unconventional to the youth but they all are the part of the same boat and hence they ought to sail through.

The Flirtationship

This comes into picture as the most initial step towards a person, also not sure that they would end up with them or not, but if it works they move to the next step. This includes playful jokes, flirting, mutual attraction without any serious motive of emotional attachment or relationship. The pressure remains low without the expectation or label of partnership. It is served as a talking stage or a “trial run” occasionally developing into a serious relationship if both parties agree. This is a good step as you get to explore the chemistry between the party and you safely and enjoy constant humour and attention. But sometime either of the person can get attached to this attention or emotional support while the other remains detached and one ends up getting hurt and this ends.
