Looks like a cheesy thread -but I assure you that this is not 
I noticed a few times how pessimistic was the youth when it comes to love. Some of my friends only consider love as sex (and are pretty miserable because of that. They sleep with someone and then cry for hours, as they think love doesn't exist anymore), others are always looking for sentimentalism and cannot support to be on their own. Some have boyfriends/girlfriends, but still don't plan to build their lives with them (I don't blame it at all, I find it quite reasonable for the majority). Love doesn't exist but still, being alone is even worse. Finally some consider love and any kind of marriage as the biggest trap and lie of society.
And there is me. No boyfriend or anything, listening for hours the sex stories of my friends when I really don't care about them and conforting friends believing they will never be loved -when I fear exactly the same for me.
I have a cynic side, you know.. Love seems totally crazy to me. I already fell in love, I think, but never had any relationships.
Then I come to what I wanted to say: nobody really seems to believe in a kind of eternal and true love. A kind of crazy fear of everything. Even the love of Romantism, as a pain, became old-fashioned. For a lot of friends, love means Tinder (they would never assume to date someone they really know. Looks crazy.). I know I don't want that for me.
Just wanted your opinion on that. For you, what is love, for the youth, at the 21th century- and why people are so disillusioned about it, at only 16/19? I know some of you are in a very cute and happy relationship. Perhaps I just have very pessimistic friends after all
