[DOF] Relationship Advice

I feel these days, with the plethora of instant information at our fingertips, that the act of "getting to know someone" has become so diluted that unless you are willing to make a decision based off a 5-minute conversation - then you will not be "successful" in the dating scene. 

Why? 

Because there will ALWAYS be someone who will be more giving with themselves - whether it be emotionally or physically. 

I see far too many relationships squandered because of an argument or over something so irrelevant that it turns out to be pointless, but since we are all far too used to instant gratification - whether it be from food [chocolate will always make me feel good <3] or some snap from someone we clearly know only wants one thing from us [you know I'm hawt, so tell me more of how hawt I am] - that any sign that there is work to be done or something that we need to look deep within ourselves to realise that relationships are not going to be 100% fun/happy 24/7, then it'll be over before it even starts...

What can be learnt here

Again, purely my thoughts and from what I have witnessed - but honestly, if you are not willing to put the effort in to something, then why bother doing/starting it in the first place? Work/School Project or a relationship, they all will have good/bad days, so maybe learn a little resilience and understand that as much as we love to be/feel loved, we also need our own space to work through problems - choosing not to speak to someone doesn't mean they hate you, maybe they just need to figure something out before talking to you again. Don't pester them with messages and then instantly assume they don't like you.
