Gen Zs: The generation that ditches relationships without thinking twice

Before getting into a relationship, there are a lot of things that people consider a deal breaker and no matter how interested someone is, they walk away.

However, Gen Zs have been known to have low tolerance levels and at the spotting of one or two issues that does not augur well with them, many are known to drop the relationship without looking back.

Tavin Lolosoli, a Gen Z, spoke to Wananchi Reporting about his experiences in relationships and some of his deal breakers:

I am usually specific about the person that I want to spend my days with. To avoid wasting each other’s time. 

I took a girl whom I was getting to know out. I set up a date and chose a beautiful venue.

I was nervous because I didn't know if I would meet her expectations or if she would meet my expectations.

She was on time, but her outfit was a turn off.

 I however ignored that and we went ahead to place our orders and enjoy the meal. Mid conversation, she kept receiving texts and she was constantly on her phone – another turn off.

Her communication was not good as she would speak over me and talk too much.

To make matters worse, she began telling me about her exes and bad mouthing them, which I found inappropriate.  

She then went ahead to tell me how she expects the person she dates to pay for her hair and nails, do shopping and spend on her. I don't mind spending on her but I found it inappropriate to state it on the first date. 

I also realised that we had different interests that caused friction between us.

It also occurred to me that if we decided to date, she was a party girl and my work days are mostly on weekends.

I therefore knew that she would always want me to accompany her for parties, but because of the nature of my job, it would be hard.

Tavin says that it's important to know what you want in a relationship, what you can tolerate and the kind of person that you are and what you can offer to your partner as well. It all narrows down to everyone knowing their worth.
