Have Guys Quit Believing in Love and Go for Sex Dating Instead?

Love has lately become an overused, under-appreciated, and misunderstood word in the English language. It has become more like an image of a 7-11 convenience store in the road of life: designed to give you sufficient feelings without much effort, instead of the archetypal emotion associated with classic fairytales like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

What does this all mean? It means we have all changed the definition of love. It has become a universal term used to describe nearly all the relationships we’re in, even if it doesn’t involve any deep emotional connection.

When did we stop believing in dating for love and made it all about sex dating? Or a more appropriate question would be, when did love carry in the same implication as fantasy and fairytale? Have we become a society made up of shallow and jaded people that we immediately brush off the concept of falling in love?

There are many couples that genuinely love each other. It’s a natural human emotion that inevitably happens if you spend enough time with another person. Time can teach us to love someone; but being in love is a whole different story. You may love your friends and family, but you can only be in love with someone that can make your heart burn with passion.

It is very unfortunate that people currently confuse love with attraction. A lot of guys are inclined to think that sex dating equates to dating for love. However, deep down, guys are skeptical about love as they are about an email from a Nigerian claiming to have inherited a fortune from a distant uncle.

When did we stop believing in love? We are not born bitter, but when a relationship that has turned sour leaves a bad taste in our mouths, that’s when we become bitter. We were all optimistic creatures once, believing that we only go out on dates with the women we are in love with. However, we now have totally come to terms with reality. If the love you once had has already become a passing feeling, it was never really love in the first place. This is when we stop believing in love.

But the truth is love is out there, and you can’t go out there and just look for it; it happens the same way when you hit puberty painfully and unexpectedly.  Everyone who has experienced falling in love has had it come out of nowhere, catching them off-guard. It can find you today, or if you’re looking, you just might have missed it.
