Wonder whatâs wrong with relationships today? We may be freer than ever, we may love fearlessly and walk out of relationships when things donât work out, and thatâs great! But what we lack is the old world charm. Donât you agree? Hereâs why old school relationships were so much more special than modern dating.
1. Those were the times when technology hadnât suffocated the essence of love. They didnât have to call each other a dozen times every day. Their relationships didnât occupy their lives. Personal space was never a problem. They may be called âold schoolâ but they were much freer than us in relationships.
2. The idea of not meeting everyday had a charm of its own. They didnât go out on dates every weekend. A lot of them didnât even know when theyâd meet again, if at all. And that is what made every date special. That half an hour together meant much more than the weeks we spend together with our partners today.
3. People back then had less expectations set on their partners and their relationships. There werenât as many in those days. Look at us today â it takes literally nothing for us to part ways with each other over the smallest of problems.
4. They werenât obsessed with techonlogy. The blue Whatsapp ticks didnât exist, neither did Facebook chats. Whatever was to be said, had to be said when they met. They never ran out of conversations. We have so much to say yet so less to talk about.
5. They didnât feel the need to announce their love to the world. It was a sworn secret between the two of them the world didnât know about. Stealing glances every now and then, holding each otherâs hands when nobody was looking, sneaking out for a short walk, pretending like strangers when others were around â old school romance really was priceless.
6. Love was free of all distractions. They didnât spend most oftheir times on their own smartphones or dates, they spent it actually talking to each other, getting to know each other or just staring into each otherâs eyes. The world didnât exist and time stood still for them when they were together. Lovers were really into each other and it showed.
7. Their relationships were full of unpredictability. Nobody knew where it was going and still, it was worth all the effort. It took time for people to get to know each other and with each passing day, their love stories took a new turn. They never knew till when theyâd be together â never knew if the other person would ever call back again or not. And that made their love all the more passionate.
8. Their love stories were legendary and our films are a proof of that. It is a great success for our soceity that parents today are much more accepting of inter caste and inter religion relationships, no denying that. However, the parents played such an important role as external conflicts back then, the struggle made the love even stronger. Great love makes great stories and in those times, every love story was legendary.
