Advaita Vedānta - (Non-duality) God (Paramātma) and the individual Self (jīvātma) are one and the same = identical.

Asti = being

Is there a reason why many men give up on dating and relationships? Is the dating scene difficult for them?

Dvaita Vedānta - (Duality) God and the individual Self are absolutely distinct and separate.

Priyam = Love.

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

I'm British and feel ashamed of the crimes of British colonialism. What should I do?

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Visiṣṭhādvaita Vedānta - (Qualified non-duality) They are one but ontologically distinct, like a flower and its smell or like a picture and its pixels.
