In this day and age is commitment dieing out?
I see more and more people having casual s*x and relationships and just disgarding them as soon as somthing "better" comes along!!
Is love dieing out?
Is it possible for people change?
Are you casual or commited?
What are your views?

matt, im commited to you all the way

S*x? I think a better question is how far has society gone that we feel the need to censor the word "sex".
And it's the culture these days to go out and get laid. No one cares about commitment when they can just go get all physical action they want. Commitment minded people are becoming rarer.
It's like my grandma used to say, "why buy the cow when you can get the sex for free?". Though she turned lesbian on her 60th birthday.

I am a committment kind of guy. So strong in my committment am I that I have suffered many things, trying to keep it going..... I won't bother listing them here, as I do not feel this is the place.
You say you want to hear the truth? I say that you are lying! You do not want the truth. Instead you want to hear a well crafted lie mixed with half truths that you find more appealing than the real truth.

u r right...its sad...
I think we r losing "real love concept" all people seem to care is about their lust...and they should even use the world "love" for their temp. attachment....
"love" is the most misused word
Don't be afraid of shadows, it only means there is light shining somewhere behind...
arr thank you dearmatt, im commited to you all the way
and yea, that is the problem isnt it
and yes Rye has summerised the problem very well, the point is why, jsut because people can have lots of sex do we feel the need to?
I myself don't really see any excitement in casual relationship or one-nighters, whatever you want to call them.
<b>Is it possible for people change?</b> YES. I'm a living example of that. Past few years have shaped me a lot and my values of life.
Word up. Eventhough I don't really care."love" is the most misused word
('-'*)/ - "sup"
what it really come back down to is people becomming more and more obsessed with their looks, they only want a good looking person so they can show off about how good looking they are to pull such a good looking person.... if that makes sense?
but then they find someone better looking and they move on to them, no one really wants to take the time to get to know one person, they think it'll become boring and repitional but i guess not everyone needs that feeling of security like i do
oh, and i was the one who sensored the sex on the first post, i wasnt sure if it was allowed to be said
I need mental commitment because of my commitment to Squall! (see thumbnails) *drools* Seriously though. I'm a commitment person all the way. I'm proud to say I have never cheated on a boyfriend, *ever* and I never will, I'm just not the sort. Too much emphasis is put on s*x these days and as a result ppl end up having a long string of what turn out to be empty relationships, and coming out of them no better or even worse then they were before. Uh sorry, rant over

i agree completly, im proud to say that i'v never cheated, and have no plans to. [mush] I'm also proud to say that i have only ever had sex with one person, and that is because i love her with all my heartI'm a commitment person all the way.

I don;t and have never seen the point in having sex jsut for the hell of having sex. Can any one please enlighten me on this?
I guess it just comes down to personal preference. As someone here said, relationship's based on physical appearences are never good, and are bound to be, at their core, brittle, if they have a core atall. If your're with someone on that basis and you don't genuinely care for them (and thats not even going anywhere near *love) then you're bound to start looking around.i agree completly, im proud to say that i'v never cheated, and have no plans to.

Everyone is different and so many have completely differing views on this topic, too some ppl it really isnt a big deal, until maybe later in their life. Maybe they never had a role-model relationship (i.e stable parents) to look up too. Could be anything. Life is messy and ppl cheat, it happens and unfortunetly its now a regular part of the world today. Or so it seems, maybe I'm just being really cynical

some people still believe in love.
i would never have a one night stand, i've only ever pulled one guy when i've been out and ended up in a 2 year relationship (i'm not really that ugly if you're wondering why i don't pull. i just don't like to. i feel dirty when i do)
i would never cheat on a guy, even if i've been with him a few days.
tv and the media make people out to be dirty whores. we're not all like that. i wnat to fall in love, not just sex
Trust No one
While Heidegger and I are not legally married (stupid laws....), we are married at heart, and have been 100% faithful to each other from the beginning.
I don't feel love is "dying out", but i do feel that people are starting to, in a way just do what they want to do i guess. Over the years the stereotype of sex being naughty and dirty has faded more and people's actions are moreso linked to their agenda, not a religion or some other factor. I myself have full faith in love, and much prefer a commited relationship than any other alternative. I think it's important not to use the word "love too broadly" though, as has been said. You don't forget about someone you actually loved in a matter of days (or weeks? months?
