I think, dating as a majority understands it is a quite U. S. American ritual. My youth had the same goals in respect of ''dating'', but with different - emm - procedures. I enjoyed reading your text :)
Probably the biggest changes have been in the last 20 years , the 1960's was the decade of the greatest social changes , and still influences right to this day. Dating definitely has changed THAT much , esp more recently.
The basics haven't changed much, but there are some notable differences that are obviously because of the passage of time. They both have fun, they have a good time, and they want to see each other again afterwards.
now there is tinder and superficial hookups and club culture. you are a relic of a long lost era. unfortunately.
Yes...
Yeah now they dont trust ya and if You like them they think there's ulterior motives. Least in my dealings.
D'pnz what age level. N those xs folks didn't lose their virginity til' Prom Night/Wed'n Night. How Many fellas lie bout their virginity today? A ruca (female) told Me how Many fellas r nervous/lost during x, Who had said they weren't Virgins.
Fifty years ago, 40 years ago we courted. Now it is almost all hookups and superficiality.
Sounds about right but for me in the UK. I the 60s no car and house phone. It was letters , public transport and public phone. ...
Well I can tell you now that everybody on a date these days are on their cell phone most of the time and that really sucks
I like what you've written.
I wish I were growing up in that era , much simpler time and less stigma and drama in the dating world.
How do we know? Everyone says "It was better back then" but many of the issues we have today just weren't talked about back then. Also I'm sure people back then had their own unique issues in dating.
1968... a lot of 14 year olds running away from home to California.
Not really. Maybe it was a bit more formal back then and now even a girl might do the first move.
From what I can gather everyone got assualted back then so I'm happy here in the future.
It's drastically different here.
Women control everything now it's bad
Only if you let them!
What do you mean?
My woman doesn't control me. There are women who don't want to control men, and there are women who will try to assert control only until they are challenged.
You already are with someone. Those guys who date nowadays are being treated as walking ATM's and you can't do shit about it. If she likes you, she'll fuck you. If she doesn't (or changed her mind) and you will not give up, you could be accused of rape. Good luck getting out of that. I could go on and on, but I hope that you get the point.
@blackisnotacolour I was in the dating pool just six months ago.
Yes chilivary is dead and western women killed it
Chivalry is not dead as long as I am alive.
All I know it that it starts online way too much.
Dating hasn't changed. Dating DIED.
Unfortunately it has changed a lot.
