Dating isn’t casual for girls
Today’s young girls may belong to a generation where they love everything instant — from coffee to relationships, but when it comes to relationships, they infinitely prefer commitment instead of a casual fling. That’s exactly what diva Sonakshi Sinha meant when she recently said that she doesn’t believe in casual dating.
“Boys are commitment phobic, not girls,” concurs 19-year-old Neesu Patel, who’s yet to find the love of her life. “Girls are raised to be more sensible, and when it comes to relationships, we give it our all. It comes naturally to us,” she adds.
But Rayshita Sachdev, a 23-year-old fashion designing student, looks at the idea of commitment differently. “For me it’s about finding Mr Perfect. Till then, one can keep on trying,” she quips. “On a serious note, the idea is to be on the lookout for the right guy, keeping in mind that you won’t get lucky with the first attempt. But once you find him, just don’t let him go,” she adds.
A “simple friendship” and even a casual fling is often the beginning of a serious relationship for many. “Many of my friends got into a relationship, not knowing that it would turn into a serious affair. Interes-tingly, for a few of them, the dating began online,” says Sana Shah, a DU student.
Dr Kamal Khurana, relationship expert, says that the need for longevity is a basic one. “Every heart, deep down, aspires for a soulmate and a relationship for a lifetime. Expecting a long committed relationship and turning it into marriage and the need to live happily ever after is a very genuine one. People just suppress this requirement because of their irrational beliefs about themselves and others.”
