What do you think of this attitude toward relationships?

I start to notice this trend among young people, particularly people my age. They hook up with someone and go on dates but they are not committed to the partner. They say they just want to gain experience on dating before going for the real deal.

To me the attitude just seem so… jarring. A person’s feeling isn’t something you can play with like a toy or a lab tool. It would be heartbreaking for the partner who is actually committed to the relationship. What would you think if your partner just broke up with you for no reason and said “Sorry honey, this whole time I was just using you to practise falling in love. Nothing personal”?
