Ok my dear youngsters.

I am 50 years old and probably the oldest member here.

I am resident of USA and I have 21 y/old daughter.

She is gorgeous and nice. She has a lots of friends and

when I look at their pictures from parties - it is suitable for

any magazines which needs gorgeous girls to sell some

products. We are so lucky to have such a gorgeous bunch

of young beautiful women as a parents.

However they all are college seniors and none of them dating.

They are not prude, they party and drink and have lots of fun.

Going to concerts, taking vacations and having time of their lives.

I am worried. I do understand that dating takes away from studying.

But at my age we had all this blend and nothing excluded each other.

Here I see you all having some kind of issues with relationships

like 'I am 20 dating 30 years old married man for 2 month and he is

not divorcing his wife with 2 kids'...and it makes me nervous!

My friend psychology therapist from overseas told me once

- Kids here are so messed up because parents are working too

hard and they rather give their kids everything they are asking for

because it is easier then exlplain why not and dealing with temper

tantrum. So these kids grew up knowing there is no word and NO

and first girl he is falling in love with says NO - he buying flowers

and throwing himself out of the 4th floor window because he doesn't

know how to deal with NO word. He had never heard it before!

(this is real story happened a few years ago multiplied times at different

HSs at my state).

Here I am reading about 'playing' and all this crap I had never dealt with in

my life. We had a relationships. Kissed. He never calls. Cried a day and

moved on!

You have such a drama with signs and rising and all in and out stuff.

Imagine you had no idea he is a what sign. Whats than? Oy vey!

I do not understand why relationships between youngsters now are so

much complicated and almost like science. It is human simple thing!

If he doesn't call - he doesn't need you. He is not being taken by aliens!

If she says I need more partners than one - she doesn't attract to you physically

even if you are her best friend!

If he disappeared - don't look for him. Have dignity! Don't wait 3 years.

It is so simple really! You can't make people to love you. Unless you are

in voo-doo thing but it is sin!

WHY are you so hanging up on these 'he might be soul searching'

NO! If he forgot to call you for 3 weeks - he forgot you! Stop waiting.

If he came back after he forgot you - say NO because he was busy wit

someone else for 3 weeks and now he is telling you he had tooth ache!

At this age not staying in touch is IMPOSSIBLE if person cares for you.

Just saying...

What's your question again? This is a youngster, so I may be able to help
If you didn't get it - your generation is dating like nuts.

You don't have any integrity, you blame Universe for your faults.

You think if he said he likes you - there is the deal. NO! Its not.

He changed his mind and likes someone else - horror! Why?

Because it is a human nature. I love you today. I changed my mind

tomorrow. He has rights to change his mind and you don't have to jump

from the 4 story window!

NO means NO!

But you kids drill down to whay whats when?

No reason! He changed his mind! He doesn't 'love' you anymore.

He has rights to have change of his heart.

Seems like you now meet someone and he is your possession.

NO! He is a free man. If you didn't captured his heart - he is gone!

Don't let him back...but you do! Oh yes...you do them men come

back and screw you again and again and again.

Carry on

I watched something saying millenials are having less sex than any generation before them.

And one of the reasons brought up was that this is the "me" generation, and people aren't willing to settle. So they aren't going out with someone just because.

But personally think that most people, after having their fun and are done studying, will go on to look for something serious eventually when they're actually ready to settle. 🙂

You need a hobby. You sound way too focused on other people's business. You're 50 and you've been on here this long yet you just recently asked what a rising sign was/meant. Please have a seat.

I do have a hobby to come here and irritate heck out of some of you. 😉

I think not much has changed as far as dating. Its just that everything is more open now. Old-young relationships were probably more frequent a few years back. People are still people. Its just theres no more social taboo shame stigma etc.
Yes and also it is not even about taboos - it is the way they panic every time partner of 2 weeks

isn't fitting into their life style ! Oh, horror! They don't get that it is take 2 to tango and sometimes

well, most of the time relationships don't last and you have to accept it and move on!

See, 4 years guy spending on a girl who doesn't love him back and he gets scolded for false

friendship! No! It was real. And he is still hoping. No one sees it like that but me. Sad.

How is this different from previous generations? Men have been changing their minds for all of eternity, this didn't just start happening in the past decade.. :/

I'm just confused as to what you are getting at... So what.. generations ago women just accepted it and we should too? That's all I am getting here :/
click to expand

Yes men AND women changed their minds always and there no nice way to deliver that message so people are leaving without return. Yes you should accept it. What do you suggest? MAKE him return? This is what you guys seem like into. WHY would you want one who doesn't want you? Have dignity!

why is this a surprise that things change and do not stay the same ?
Yeah, why don't things change for better? Like younger generation is getting stronger and smarter about things? Not weaker and more vulnerable.

Olympic champions setting new records that are higher. Love relationships are deteriorating to the point

that there soon no one will date out of fear of being dumped. Like debilitating fear.

Why are you saying you guys? I am in a relationship, I don't even face this issue, was just inquiring as to what you were getting at..

And women acted the same way generations ago.. I don't know what you are even talking about. People have chased people who didn't want them FOREVER. I never once said to force someone into liking you.

The difference nowadays is social media. It has nothing to do with women (or men) not accepting that they aren't wanted. Generations ago there was no way to keep tabs on people and stay connected 24/7.. it has changed relationships for the worst.. but what you are talking about has been happening since the beginning of time and it goes both ways.. It's not just women who do this.

I accept this. You are correct. There was no way for my generation to let the world know he dumped me.

Just a friends shoulder to cry on and friend didn't have a computer🙂

@Gemitati - Exactly. Years ago, if your fella was going out to have a night with the guys he would say bye and go out and have fun with his guys, and you would likely see him later that night or the next am.

Just an example**** Now a days, your fella can say he is going out with the guys, and next thing ya know there are girls posting pictures on social media (lets say they just happened to bump into your fella and guys while they were out) could be completely innocent, just a picture with some old friends, but now you are sitting at home while your guy is out and all you see is pictures of him out with other girls having fun.. And now with technology, she doesn't even have to wait for him to come home to say something about it, she can text him, call him.. annoy the fuck out of him somehow.. And for what? It could have been nothing, an innocent "hey haven't seen you in awhile, lets take a drunk picture" moment.. but all you see is pictures and you're sitting at home pissed.. This situation wasn't possible generations ago. You see how easily things can get blown out of proportion with the way technology is nowadays. It's fkn sad isn't it!


And about that app 'where is so and so' and he said he is at home but you see him at the hotel in neighboring state? LOL

I don't know about that app.. And I think that's for the best! 😛

Shit like that turns us all into unnecessary psychos! Technology needs to chill the fuck out!

My daughter is always sending me a piece of map with pinpoint where I am at at that moment.

And it says 'where is (my name) now' and she never told me exactly how it works.

So there is really no privacy anymore.

One thing I don't get - if one tells another they are going somewhere and posting pictures on FB

in real time - do they want to be caught? They can't deny it obviously! Its there!

So is it breaking up technique?

Yeah, that app sounds like nothing but trouble!! All this social media just created a bunch of unnecessary drama. Ruined relationships forever 😢

Well yeah, that would be pretty dumb. The example I was giving was more aimed at someone else posting a picture of them.. as that could easily happen. I haven't been in any similar situation, was just fictional for an example... but I am sure things like that happen a lot.
click to expand

It is not fictional unfortunately. I had read about it A LOT! Just wondering how much your partner care for you to do that. However these girls (mostly girls) come and cry that he is a cheater.

What do you want?

I want him baaaaack!

THAT is insane.

The older generation will always look down on their noses at those that come after them.

Change will always be missunderstood and feared.
Yes it is scary when 90% of the posts here about 'will my XXX come back to me'?

And a lots of dissapearances treated like a tragedy.

click to expand

That's not at all what I'm saying! What's scary here is your narrow view on the world.

When you were young and first dating I'm sure you had moments of insecurity. Human behavior remains very much the same as it always was.

I plead guilty for the last one. I shouldn't have taken it as tragedy. How mundane it is indeed. Ppl are ppl, including me, and they can change whenever they want to, however they want to, and to whomever they want to be, it's of their rights, including me, yes?

That you opened up your heart enough to care is a triumph and not anything to be ashamed of! Don't let this bitter old woman make you think otherwise.

Arielle,

stop being jealous!
50 going on 5 response.

Only small minded idiots retort with "you're jealous!"


Well...brain is going with age as other organs.

Especially when you are dealing with Aritlle sort.

I am too old for her shit! But she is still absessed with me...well...

You're also delusional. You'll probably want to get checked for early onset senility while you're at it.

"Absessed?" Really?

@OP,

I think whenever dxp gets exhausting and you start getting irritated, its time to log off.

Also, the world has changed. The internet and online dating has changed things. People date differently.

To know that a new date is a swipe away is very different from a new date who you have to seek out, call her dad, talk to him, etc.

Like someone else said, all this can make people very insecure. Especially those.who date online. To know u can break up with someone at noon and have a date by 5 is.....

Because it is a human nature. I love you today. I changed my mind

Serious note. You're sounding a bit bitter.

I'm sure your daughters and her friends are going through the same turmoils any other "millienial" does.

We're really good at being private now too 😉

But if there's one thing your onto, it's that fear of rejection. But I think you're underestimating the difference of time.

I'm sure you all went through the same stresses pertaining to the pre/early relationship phase

"Does he like me"

"What does he think of this" blah blah

It's totally normal and not exclusive to "millienials."

And I find your sentiments hilarious since more often than not, the posters on here are well into adulthood.

It's the same ship, different captain. You guys just didn't have forums to clog with your undying questions.
