MODERN DATING
“What impact does social media have on love and relationships?”
Social media has greatly affected the lives of many particularly in dating.
It has both good and bad effects in love and relationships.
One of the bad effects include feelings of insecurity. Everything you see in social media is either too good to be true or filtered, and you end up comparing your relationship to that of others’. It gives you unrealistic expectations of love. Although not in all cases, it changes the way you set standards in relationships.
But while it may have affected love and relationships negatively, it has brought positive effects to dating as well. It has helped many people meet each other and find love, bridging long-distance relationships. It’s a great instrument to connect two people in love even if they are living far from each other.
You see, social media has brought varying effects to love and relationships, but what’s more important is to use it appropriately in order to have a healthy and memorable experience online.
