Why Do So Many Teens Get Involved in Boy-Girl Relationships? (Part 10)

Let's move on to number 10 - They have a grotesque or personal reason. This reason is pretty interesting actually. Let's get into it.

Individuals are motivated to act by different things. These motivations would compel and influence us to act in a certain way. In the area of relationships, sometimes people have certain 'objectives' or 'personal reasons' and why they get into them. For example, maybe this guy has the objective of getting many girlfriends? Or it could be wanting to learn about human behavior? It could be many things. Often, it is just sick or unethical. However, there are times where both parties have similar personal reasons. Thus, the term 'fling' emerges.

He/she might even think of it as a game. A game that they actively engage in to have fun and enjoy each other's company. In cases like this, if one party does not share the reason, but rather is serious about the relationship, he/she would most definitely get hurt. When the truth unfolds, he/she would feel cheated. Thus the term "player" and the phrase, "I got played".


However, if both parties share the same reasons, I suppose they will just be a 'fling'. This would most probably not hurt them. But, it would most probably affect them in one way or another. I believe that individuals must be very careful as to not fall into this, unless they have the same objectives.

Life is a game, don't get played.
