7 Things That Can Turn You Into A Pessimist About Love

Love is often portrayed as the best thing in this world. Your family might be fighting all the time, your career isn’t going as planned, your friends turn out to be back-stabbing monsters, but it seems like love will always be there to save your day. Well, tough luck. Finding love isn’t always as easy and effortless as it seems in the movies. Not only that, but when you do find love, it isn’t always mutual. If it is mutual, it doesn’t last forever, like Hollywood would have us believe. The path to finding true love is hard and treacherous and at some point it makes us think it’s never going to happen for us. Let’s talk about all those things that can turn you into a pessimist about love.

 

 

1. Ghosting
Ghosting sucks, ok? But it’s also quite common these days and there’s nothing we can do about it. It blows that some people choose to just disappear on you one day, when before that everything seemed to be going pretty well. But alas, that’s the world we live in right now. People aren’t comfortable with rejection anymore, they don’t really want to go through the trouble of having that conversations that starts with “we have to talk” and ends with “I’m sorry, it’s not you, it’s me”. Ghosting is easier, it’s less personal, so that’s what we get these days.

 

 

2. Lying
Dating seems like a pretty straightforward thing. You can either be exclusive and only see each other. Or you can be not exclusive, in which case both of you know that you have your options open and you both can see other people. Most are ok with that. It seems fair, right? But for some reason people still lie. They say they’re dating only with you, when really they’re seeing other people behind you back. Oh the lies they tell, they’re so bad a kid would be able to see through them.


3. Benching
Benching, in case you don’t know, is when you put a relationship on hold, in order to pursue someone else. So basically you’re too chicken to dump someone, in case it doesn’t work out with the other person, so you keep them waiting, knowing that you can always come back to them. Being benched is the worst, it’s like you’re good enough to be safe option, but not good enough to be the only one.
