Yesterday, I went to one of the restaurants where most of the tables were reserved by couples. I don’t know how many of them were married, newly dating, or old dating.

Someone is sitting with someone, taking photos together, and I'm sure some of them will be posting it on social media with captions, oh, with the better half! oh really?

sometimes you feel photos are more real than the actual reality and vice versa.

and then it suddenly hits you, I am the only single left? Am I an alien?

It's like society has already decided that being in a relationship is the must thing to do.

But to be honest, guys, dating can’t be taken so lightly! Some people love to be in a relationship, whereas some don't, and that is perfectly fine.

The problem is not in dating; it's in the pressure to conform to societal norms.

I believe we love the idea of conformity. We all want to do the same things, no matter how satisfied we are. We are willing to do it because others are getting it done—dating is also one of those agreements.
