DOUBLE DATING HAS CAUSED MORE HARM THAN GOOD IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY

Hello beautiful members of the @Hive-Reachout community. I’m @akwash360 and it’s a pleasure for me to share my views or idea about the theme for the prompt 37 which is ‘Double Dating”. Personally, I feel this is an interesting topic we need to talk about because the high rate of double dating in our various societies today is alarming. It will shock you to know that double dating is a norm in many societies today. For me I think that shouldn’t be, and I will be stating my reasons.

First and foremost, let’s get to understand what “double dating” is all about. Based on my research I was able to understand that double dating is the act or a situation where by a guy or a lady decided to date or be in a serious relationship with multiple partners. I was able to also understand people double date for different reasons. Some went into it probable because their partners could not meet their demands or needs. For such reason they feel the need to have more than one partners. Also, some do it because of insecurity probably because they were heart broken in the past, for such reason they no longer trust anyone. Some indulge in it because their partners couldn’t satisfy them sexually. These are just but few reasons among many.

I understand their fears, insecurities and unsatisfaction but for me I totally do not support any form of double dating for any reason or whatsoever. Maybe this was because I once witnessed an incidence where a very young and vibrant guy was killed by a cultist all in the name of “He is dating my girlfriend”. Though I was younger then but that incidence sticks so hard in my head that I can’t get it out. I thought to myself that this terrible incidence that led to the lost of life could have been avoided if only the lady held on to one guy. The guy is gone, the rest is history.

I also feel that any partner who can not hold on to a one guy or lady during relationship can not remain focus without cheating in marriage. The rate of divorce is quite alarming and unfortunately over 70% is due to alleged cheating; either the man is accused of cheating or the woman being accused by the man. It will interest you to know that the cheating partner started double dating right from when he/she was in a serious relationship and it has now become part of them which then transited down to their marital home.

So, in conclusion I would like to put it straight that double dating has cause more harm than good in our society today. I feel if the younger generation will take their minds off the fear of heart breaks insecurities and other form of thoughts that is pushing them to double date and focus more on building a strong relationship by helping each other to grow in the areas they expected them to then I think that would help reduce the rate of divorce and also help better our societies.
Thank you for reading through my entry and I hope it is worth taking your time.
