It's a boy-girl thing!!

Well this blog is about one of the interesting articles i read in some magazine a couple of years back..

So here it goes..The article was a survey that gave its viewpoint on a topic and accompanying figures..Well the topic dealt with the growing number of love affairs at school and college level and the figures showed the success rate of such relationships..I was amazed to find that only 3 out of 100 love affairs at school level and 12 out of 100 at college level finally translate into marriage in India..Phew!! The figures indeed are very discouraging for the so-called “love birds” of schools and colleges..Well let’s delve deep into the topic and find if that’s indeed true and if yes what are the possible reasons for the same…

As pretty much everyone of you would have seen and experienced that the facts mentioned above are indeed true..I have myself heard of 100’s of love cases of our seniors in the college but have only heard of two being converted into marriage till date..So what can be the possible reasons for the low conversion rate ?? Well personally i think that the major reason for this poor rate is the sincerity of purpose behind it..My personal opinion is that most of the people in college engage themselves in such relationships because it serves as a status symbol for them..So they are never that serious about the relationships..No wonder the success rate is that poor !! In case both the parties are doing it for boosting their status in the college , then its perfectly fine because it is harmless..But the problem occurs when one of the sides is just fooling around , riding high on his/her fake relationship while the other party is very serious about the issue and is really committed ..Then it gets really ugly !! And its very unfair on the other person because he/she has been used as a “status earning tool”..Nothing more,nothing less!! ..That can be indeed very damaging !! Most of these affairs don’t last that long and even if they survive the four years very few finally meet their destiny !!!

Being in 21st century i’m pretty sure boy-girl being from different backgrounds shouldn’t be a reason for this poor rate..Of the other possible reasons i can think of is probably we are not mature enough to handle such delicate stuff and we need more time..I’m not sure how much this funda is applicable to the college affairs , but it is surely very much applicable to school affairs..Whatever the reasons may be , it is sad to see such a low conversion rate in India ..Hope you guys can further throw some light into this matter!!
