Hmm this is a very big question. In today's day and age of technology we have a lot more options when it comes to dating than the older generations that never had social apps or sites. There are a wide variety of options when you want to meet people and because of that the older generations have a one up on today's dating generation. We are in the age of instant gratification and back in the era of actually having to get to know people, taking the time to talk and build relationships from friendships it was much easier to find someone who actually fit your perfect person profile. This gave people the chance to really get to know someone and it was harder to avoid the sticky situations. Back then people knew what they were getting themselves into when they did get serious about someone. In the age of technology it has become about how can this person make me feel happy RIGHT NOW!
With the culture of INSTANT today people skip over what they want for the future and settle for what makes them happy in this very second. People aren't stopping to think about the consequences of tomorrow and because of that they find spending time to find out more about someone over a longer time boring and a waste of time.
People are jumping into relationships quicker than ever today and probably shouldn't, they hope that by doing so will give them the instant happiness the need and this causes relationships to end quicker because they weren't the right person to begin with. The person they are jumping into a relationship with isn't who they really wanted or they are just doing it in a moment of boredom.
If someone does just want to jump into a relationship with you, STOP and think about why...what is the real reason for NOW NOW NOW. The best advice I can give is to stop, take each day as it comes and if things are going too quickly, remember that the world isn't going to end if you don't snap this person up now...if they aren't there tomorrow, in a week or month...they weren't the right person to begin with and it's time to start fishing in the ocean that is...the dating pool.
Happy dating!
