People lie.
You lie.
People got issues.
You will pay dearly for someone else’s childhood trauma.
You will be disappointed.
You will have to change.
Stop being “perfect.”
Unconditional love is earned, not automatic.
You will never fully know someone.
The person who cares less has all the power.
If you aren’t a top priority, your invitation to spend time together will be a “maybe.”
The above issues addressed are not at all exclusive to modern dating. Because we all know things like dishonesty less than stellar dating experiences only came about in the last decade. Lol
I don't know why they put "modern" in the title, I guess because of the mention of OLD..
My take away from it, is that it seems like a lot of people see others as "disposable."
I see evidence of it IRL as well with people in my circle. They're real quick to drop someone as soon as something goes wrong and they are on to the next person. But at the same time a lot of them stay in unfavorable situations.

This is difficult when you are head over heels for someone. After a few months of dating, you care a lot. You want the other person to know. Forget it. It makes you appear less valuable.
Yes, it's true that the person who cares more is at a disadvantage and you don't want to wear your heart on your sleeve at the beginning. But at some point you don't want to be strung along and so you have to lay your cards on the table - if you care and they don't then you need to know and move on. It's silly to just keep playing a stupid game.

What's crazy to me is that my mom said something similar. She advised us (my brother and I) to make sure the other person cares more than we care about them.
That made no sense to me. Why can't two people care about one another equally? Isn't that the whole point of dating them to begin with?

You hit the nail on the head. We are more and more becoming a disposable society and this is leaking over to people becoming disposable.
Those things are generally true of relationships in general, not just "modern dating."
