Social Media And Dating Palava

Opinion Social Media And Dating Palava
JAN 20, 2019 LISTEN

Thinking of the best place to track that relationship? Or probably, tell the world how happy you are with that cutie… The first place that comes to mind is Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and the lots.

The bottom line is everyone got a point… its either you listen or choose not to.

The issue of whom you should date or whom you shouldn’t date has a full tank of opinions and criticisms. Dating has progressed to being a sensational public opinion. People today can testify of meeting their loved ones at awkward places like the lu, under a bridge, in the forest and even the internet. Well, the internet can be awkward too, considering, about 90% of lives there are FAKE. Indeed the development of the web and technological innovation has made this big world a global village. In other words, somebody knows somebody you know. Maybe you should try accepting that “friend request”. Yep!

With the advancement of social media platforms, updating your status daily or frequently has become a part of our everyday life, I call it the standard norm of “everybody does it”. This sort of exposure influences the general opinion people have of us through their constant policing and snooping on the internet. This, however, isn’t a valid rule, especially in our life as everyone has the freedom to post and un-post his/her life. Be that it may, if an individual is seeing within your private space, they unquestionably feel like they know you and everything about you. It's no wonder as your profile demands a completed form to become a member of these social communities. Don’t blame them when they feel they have some connection with you or are soundly qualified to judge your life and activities.

By telling individuals what's going on in your world, you're giving them a chance to be the missing piece in your world.

Dating kinda makes our story on social media platforms. This isn’t to everyone, but to specifics. I believe you know yourselves. It’s fun to finally meet Mr. Perfect or the One. Yeah, how amazing it can be but what's the difference if the world knows about it or not? Does it really influence the measure of love or lifespan of this relationship? True to these words, the thrill of a new partner, the energy of getting things done and going on spots together overpowers us and we end up sharing our love life online.

Losy debates have jumped up as a general rule via social media about who should date whom and who shouldn't. These benchmarks daze us in what might presumably be of great relations with other people, yet we disregard them in light of the fact that specific individuals don't have characteristics that fit in with the standards set by our social followers. You're stuck in a position of "what will they think of this guy? Is he the right man for me?"

Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook have all given a stage to us to share the inward activities of our love lives and relationships. This, thus influences the general opinion people have of us and surprisingly, give them that certified license of monitoring our breakthroughs and heartbreaks. Try deleting all those photos you have of your partner, the memories, or becomes a public speaker with the wonderful heartbreak quotes and relationship red flags people should avoid. Pathetic huh. Why then should you put yourself in the spotlight?

As I would like to think, much as social media opens our eyes to the wrong things in our society, for example, misogyny, assault, rape etc. one ought to have the capacity to believe that they settle on the best choices for themselves. It's great to take counsel from other people. In any case, that is the extent that it ought to go. Nobody should make choices for you.

The only person to pay special attention to in this life is YOU, and the rest follow in line. This isn't being narrow-minded. It's great to think about individuals. In any case, they should come after you. If your partner is the ideal fit for you, or if they make you happy, go for the ride. Run the whole distance with them and keep the whole world out of it. Play safe on social media.

Love your partner and make memories that only you two share and appreciate.
