They say, honesty is the best policy. Turns out to be wrong. Especially, when it comes to dating. Being honest will land you into more trouble than comfort and you will not stop cursing yourself. I cannot complain too much because I have been born into this generation which is 'cool' with everything, every damn thing. It's absolutely okay to be confused and not know what we want and still play around because it is simply fun.

Here are 9 things why you should keep your feelings to yourself unless you are sure that he or she is not going to be reckless with your heart.

1. We’re the ultimate hook up generation - slam, bam, thank you ma’am kind of.

Thanks to online dating that there is no dearth of options and there are just too many people to talk to; too many people to flirt with. This holds true for both girls and boys. It's a world where attention from all sides is welcome and is enjoyed.

3. Our break ups are not permanent and neither are they temporary. Isn't that absolutely cool?

Since we are living in a very practical age, where people often leave to conquor bigger dreams leaving behind less people who actually 'feel' something. This super emotional people end up suffering the most. They are often used as emotional crunch by people who don't have emotional stability in their lives. They literally suck the happiness out of you. Hence, beware, before you open up your heart to someone.

5. "Maybe" is our new favorite word.
