Are you digitalizing love?

Something about falling in love is overrated and we just can't figure it out. It's all rosy and nice and a bliss at the beginning but as time changes everything, somehow it all fades away. And if it lasts, you are lucky in love. 
Picture
Love is sometimes eternal, sometimes gets lost and sometimes just lasts for a night. So it's not defined for everyone. Right now how many of you are texting your girl/guy while reading this and telling them, "I love you."? Most of you I bet. But you never know what reply you might get to that. You never know anyone too well to predict it all. You might get a reply with "I love you too" or maybe "you too" or something similar, but we are humans and we tend to always find a glitch in everything. Maybe that’s not the reply you thought you would get. 
Do you always need a reply? Do you always need a validation? 

Picture
Over the years, a text reply or a status message for your beloved seems to be more of importance rather than a surprise visit or a bouquet at your doorstep. The greatest love stories were weaved with pure love, that's all.

No expectations, no validations and no replacements. You don't need a Valentine’s day to celebrate love nor do you need an anniversary date to keep reminding yourselves how long have you guys been together. All you need is to know the person you love, loves you back. You shouldn't care if it's less or more. Love doesn't need a Facebook tag or a relationship status or a gala celebration- All you need is love in regular doses every day. 

Give him/her a rest with the whole “last seen at” torture and if they’re online, it’s not necessary they HAVE to talk to you only in this whole wide world. Stop setting territories by being all over their social networking profile, they too have a social life to maintain and respond to and you being everywhere and all over it won’t be always a pleasure. 
Don’t be the social stalker.
Picture
It doesn't matter if you haven't fallen in love yet or you have fallen out of love. It doesn't matter if you are in love with the idea of falling in love or you are actually in love. Maybe you don’t have a wallpaper of you and your loved one to stare at and go 'aww'. It doesn't matter.

Till then fall in love with Shakespeare's classics.

And to those who think Shakespeare is too old school, you have Shah Rukh Khan's movies, Arijit Singh's songs and yourself too. Enough said.

Let’s not digitalize love, let it be the way it is supposed to be.

This was a nice read. It felt like this put words to the abstract thoughts going in my head, while I communicated with 'people', although failing to relate the senses so precisely. Your approach to the issue from the stereotyped need for validation made perfect sense. Thanks.

Technology might have made our dating world easier but not necessarily better. Before Facebook, before whatsapp, love wasn't so complicated. You just needed two people who love each other. But now you need 100% commitments, restrictions in social life, love confirmation reports and if time permits, love. This post gives a realistic approach on modern day dating. Every youngster who is in love or claims to be in one should read this.

exactly. there is more nowadays than just love. so much for so little, not worth all the drama. i tried reaching out to the crowd to make the point clear.

Thanks!
