With all the rush of everyday life, it can be difficult for a couple to find the time to talk on the phone or even text. But there’s one easy way to stay in contact during even the busiest of times: trading love memes.

If you’re just beginning to date, it can help to understand each other’s sense of humor, and if you’ve already been together for a while, it can be an excellent relationship extracurricular to maintain intimacy.

The Instagram account 4relate is a perfect source for this. It regularly shares funny and relatable memes about all sorts of romantic situations!

    It's saying that in a self ashamed way. The meme isn't ignoring consent, it's reassuring that she's pretty either way and should choose what to do based on her feelings instead of what she thinks her partner feels.

    But the internet has entered our romantic lives for more than meme sharing. According to a 2019 survey of 4,860 Americans, social media plays a much bigger role.

    Roughly eight-in-ten social media users (81%) report that they at least sometimes see others posting about their relationships, including 46% who say this happens often, but few say that these posts affect how they feel about their own love.

    If you feel this way, you'll love the article link below talking about the role of touch in raising children; it certainly adaptable to adult relationships. Too many people, myself included, were raised in families devoid of touch, physical displays of affection and even dancing. As a child, it left me hating being touched. The good news is that I overcame that aversion in a big way. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/11/12/1206275300/calm-down-grumpy-upset-kids-with-parental-massage

    Still, some people view these platforms as an important venue for showing love and affection. This is especially true for younger couples: 48% of 18- to 29-year-old social media users say it is very or somewhat important for them to show how much they care about their significant other.

    men: normalize not touching women not because we're afraid of what anyone else might think about it, but because we respect women. of course, if you're in a relationship, keep your hands off of other women. but also being single doesn't give you license touch women. consent is a thing, even in the picture here. a quick "is it okay to put my arm around you?" is always appropriate.
