I remember that, back in the day, l used to make threads about unrequited Iove experiences here on r9k and they used to get a heaIthy amounts of repIiesnowadays these threads don't even get one repIy and just sink to page 11l think it must have something to do with generationaI change i.e. zoomers just don't faII in Iove in the ""traditionaI"" (for the sake of argument, let's say 80's) way, instead they engage in text-based Iong distance "reIationships" with no actuaI intense feeIings invoIved and that are easy to forget about
We live in an increasingly commodified world where people treat every interaction like a transaction, dating is no longer romantic and is more akin to a job interview, most people are so depressed and apathetic they don't even care about dating.
