Attraction happens Anytime, Anywhere ( Try finding out where i got this cheesy line from :P )
Finally back from my vacation from Atlantis, The Corny Professor(e) is back!

And today, what I've learnt from Atlantis ( hope you all get the pathetically redundant joke ), I learnt about BGR.

And what about BGR?
It's about an analysis on BGR ( and incidentally, maybe BBR or GGR, oh well :/ )

Why do people jump into relationships?
- Peer Pressure
- Seeking Love
- For fun / experience
- Low self-esteem!

Ok, maybe there are more reasons, but at least these are 4 general reasons that I found, afterall, I too, am human.

1) Peer Pressure
There isn't much to say on this but, yes, peer pressure is one driving factor that causes people to jump in relationships.
"Ridiculous huh," you might think, "People are ridiculous", that is my reply.

Scenario: Ah-hock is an ordinary-looking Secondary 3 boy in his school, whereby his group of friends, Ah-leong, Ah-tiong and Ah-huat , happen to be attached with the best looking girls in the entire school. Because of this, Ah-hock felt a lonely at times when his 3 other friends went on group date, thus, Ah-hock, determined to stay in the group and not feel left out, decided to find a girlfriend.

You see Point #1 now ( and do you agree that people are ridiculous )?

2) Seeking Love
Come on, we know that everyone seeks love, but where?
People are practical, they want things the easiest way and the best way. In this case, where do they seek love? From friends of the same gender? They would say that it is disgusting, however, it is a different type of love!
The kind of love which ( they think ) that can satisfy the void in their hearts lies in a romantic relationship ( normally from the opposite gender ). Why a romantic relationship? This is due to the fact that a romantic relationship will cause a person to feel loved indefinitely. In fact, a large amount of people are unable to appreciate the kind of love received from friends.

Continued from Scenario above: Ah-hock felt left out at times when his friends were away paktoh-ing, and wondered if his friends truly appreciated him as a friend ( in this case, his friends really do appreciate him as a friend ). Therefore, feeling lonely, Ah-hock went out to seek love, from a girl whom he had a crush on for sometime. His love was requitted, and thereby, they soon became a couple.

3) For fun / experience
This is true! Some people (mainly guys) jump into relationships just for the fun, thrill and experience.
Fun - There are those just in for a fling! And after that short fling, all is done and they break up. This is a behaviour unlike humans!
Experience - This is a common thing, especially for younger people. Many get into relationships for the experience of being into one.

4) Low Self-Esteem
People DO jump into relationships because of Low Self-Esteem!
You might be asking me, "Does it?", "It does" is my answer.
When a person has low self-esteem, they will try to find ways to prove that they have a 'value', and to do something with a sense of achievement.
One way to do so is to woo the most popular person in the school.

Scenario: Ah-keong is a boy who suffers from low self-esteem. Day after day, he never felt good about himself. Till one day, he walked past the school belle. He was bewitched by her beauty! He then decided that, this day, he would want to prove his 'value', day after day, he tried all kinds of means and methods to get her contact. And he finally managed to woo her and he then managed to win her heart ( a quick conclusion to cut the story short ).

Conclusion: People, do not be hasty into getting into a relationship. If getting into a relationship that you're not confident which would last till marriage, why do so? A breakup would be hurtful not only to you, but for your partner too. And this hurt would be somewhere in your heart permanently.

Brothers and sisters in Christ whom are not ready for a relationship, seek your love not from men, but from God first! :)

From your beloved,
Corny Professor(e)
