I've been reflecting on how much the landscape of romance has shifted over the years. I remember when meeting someone and getting to know them felt much more intentional, whereas now it feels like we’re stuck in these endless, ambiguous "talking stages" that often lead nowhere. It’s like the mystery and the genuine effort of traditional dating have been replaced by the convenience of low-effort texting and "situationships." Has anyone else struggled with finding someone who actually wants to build a solid foundation instead of just passing time? I'd love to hear some perspectives on how to navigate this digital era without losing that old-school sincerity
