Why, you ask. Why should young people not go out as uncommitted partners?
Because you’re wasting your time. If you’re sure you don’t want to spend the next few years with the person, you should be going out with him/her for only one reason, and if that takes a lot of work too, you could probably get a better deal for lesser effort somewhere else. Move on.
It’s all about time, time and time. In all the hours you spend gurgling what your partner wants to hear, you could be out having fun with your real friends, or actually doing something productive. Who knows, in all the time you otherwise spend with your bf/gf, you could have been inventing the cure for cancer, or making significant gains in easing the Arab-Israel relation. Perhaps you would have designed a fabulous new dress, or written and sang a hip new song that’s on every tongue? All the time gone in courting someone you know you won’t be long with is wasted.
And then there’s the easiest road ever. In fact, I consider it the second greatest contribution to mankind the Indo-Nepali culture has made after Momo—arranged marriage. With arranged marriage, you don’t even need to worry about all that stuff; you could be having fun with your friends, doing things you actually enjoy doing with similar people, and then making significant contribution to society, while ultimately marrying someone, like everyone else.
