Hopeless romantics of India

I’m 24 M, and I’ve only been in one relationship in my life and I’ve been single for the last 4 years. In that time, I’ve watched how dating has shifted—everything seems so casual now, either people seem to be just looking for a good time, and “hookup culture” is at an all-time high or they involve the brains more and heart less in dating. It’s so easy to date now a days with all the options available that loyalty has lost its value because there is always a better one. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the appeal of just having fun, but I can’t help but feel like there’s something missing. I’ve always been the type to dream about finding my soulmate, the person I can grow old with, build a life together, and share everything with. Maybe I’m naive, or maybe I’m just holding onto a dream. So, hopeless romantics of Reddit, how do you keep your belief alive? Do you still think that kind of love exists, or has life turned you into a realist?
