The words ‘economics of love’ raises lots of eyebrows of those who believe that love is unconditional and those who seek benefit from love is the not right person to live with. It is right but, being in love is different then spending life with a loved one. Again, this is contradiction that many believe.

To understand this better, let’s check out the cycle of relationships and the role of human emotions

Economics of love – Are you with right partner

Attraction Phase
We use the word “Falling” in love because the looks and charm of someone can sweep you off your feet and you get attracted towards that person unconditionally. It is a situation hard to control by both men and women and ones logical decision making takes a hit.

Idealize Positives
This is the key phase of any relationship and generates enough power to get through new phases. In this phase lovers get attracted toward and in every trait and most of the time they see all good things. Lovers also compare their lover with someone they often visualize in their dreams.

Reality
This is the most thought phase but at the same time can be the most result oriented phase. In this phase couples come closer to each other and start going out and realizing their dreams of being together, however for some it creates space issues. They start to realize that they are not getting enough time for themselves or it’s not about me anymore and it is about “WE” where they may have difficulty in handling.

Suddenly they start asking questions such as “am I with the right person?” This is where economics of love play an important role. Here, everyone has to choose from either choosing the right person to love or loving the very person they found.

Choosing the right person for love is difficult as there is no perfect lover and even if you find one and go with the rule of choosing the right person there is every possibility that you won’t like his or her smile or the kind of friends he or she keeps. That is why love can be termed as “falling” in love and you need to take a “decision” in being love that makes you an economist of your romantic relationship that is going to pay you high dividends in years to come.

There are alarming signs for the world’s biggest social networking site Facebook in that the younger generation of the world’s 2nd largest nation in population India does not see Facebook as a fun place.

The recent survey done by the TimeofIndia tech wing shows that 70% of young adults in the age group between 19 to 30 said that Facebook has lost its charm in the last 3 years as they say it has become a crowded place and most of the time they get distracted by advertisements and they can’t concentrate on what they like to see and hear.

Another thing which seems to not work for Facebook is that it has become too open to all. When you like a picture it is visible to all which is good for marketing purpose but, times when you do not want to show this to others and that is where it looses it’s grip on the user. Indian social DNA is very strong and they do not need any social site to bring their family members closer but, young men and women are looking for that mysterious stranger to have fun and want to hang out.

This makes India a hot market especially for free dating sites because these singles still won’t like to pay for something they are trying for the first time.

3. The sale of Android based Smartphones and Tablets have picked up to an all time high. According to the latest data provided by International Telecommunication Union and India is the 2nd largest market for and beating USA [report].
