How can being in romantic relationships influence how you communicate in everyday life?

“I would honestly say it shouldn’t change too much despite not flirting and being promiscuous it should not change your core behavior” (Chase Smallback)

“There is that central idea. of intimacy and that it transcends into surrounding relationships not just in romantic ones.” (Cassidy Tomphson)

Would you ever date someone with opposing political view and why?

“I would say yes but their is a definite extent that if their views are completely opposite of mine on important issues I would not be able to ignore it and it would be a red flag” (Robert Ward)

“I would be open to the idea because I don’t like judging people on their belief that they hold near and dear to their hearts. I would just question how long it would last.” (Chase Smallback)

“Yes I would becauseI can learn a lot from someones opposing views.” (Cassidy Tomphson)

How does our culture influence how we view love?

“I think its what we look for in love. In some cultures sex is very important while others see it as an extent of friendship.” (Robert Ward)

“A lot of culture especially in the USA revolves around media content and I feel that create a weird standard for people. In the end we can recognize what actual love is but in the beginning stages. you have a weird standard set on what you see in the media” (Chase Smallback)

“Our culture emphasizes the dependence on love.” (Cassidy Tomphson)

Time To Reflect

Love has always fascinated me ever since I was a little boy.This may be due to the fact that I have been a hopeless romantic from the time I was twelve years old or simply because there is an unexplainable wonder to the idea of love. As a result, I chose to research various aspects of the idea of love. I wore three questions that are relatively broad but also thought provoking. I found that questions beginning with the word “how” allows wider ranges of thinking while “what” or more mundane questions restrict the subjects’ way of thinking freely.
