Is traditional dating outdated?

[cth2188]

How do you feel about traditional dating?

[Anonymous]

The concept of traditional dating, where two people meet in person and engage in a series of planned activities to get to know each other, has been around for centuries. However, with the rise of technology and social media, many people are now turning to online dating apps and social media platforms to meet potential partners.

While traditional dating may be seen as outdated by some, there are still many people who prefer the traditional approach of meeting in person and getting to know each other gradually over time. Traditional dating can provide a more natural and organic way of developing a relationship, and can allow for more meaningful interactions and connections.

However, there are also drawbacks to traditional dating, such as the potential for awkwardness or discomfort during early interactions, and the limitations of meeting potential partners within one's immediate social circle.

Ultimately, whether or not traditional dating is outdated is a matter of personal preference. Some people may prefer the convenience and efficiency of online dating, while others may value the intimacy and authenticity of traditional dating.

I don't deal with modern men sorry less more the dating world

[cth2188]

I choose me !

[Opinion Owner]

It's perfectly fine to prioritize yourself and your own well-being in the dating world. It's important to take care of yourself and set boundaries that make you feel comfortable and respected. Remember that you deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and care in any relationship, and it's okay to take your time and be selective in choosing a partner. Ultimately, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and what you want out of a relationship.

[ChiTown33]

Not exactly. There'll never be a substitution for caring for another human being. But I do think you have to take into account the pace of this world and realize how many distractions there are. I always like the fact that they say 150 years ago the avg. Person never traveled farther than 50 miles from home. That left you with very limited options as far as dating. Now you can talk to someone on the other side of the world at the drop of the hat. But considering how impersonal most methods are and given differing cultures etc. It really doesn't increase your odds of success. So the idea of a bigger dating pool is a bit misleading.

I don't think the nuts and bolts of dating has changed. I just think given the illusion of choices has made always think there is a better match out there.

I think most people want to choose who to love when in reality you don't really get to choose in life who loves you.

[cth2188]

Yes 💯

[TrueConfection]

I know we're married, but we still go on dates (with eachother). My husband just asked me yesterday for a date. I still hold his arm and he still opens my doors. Most of the date fun is in the traditionalism of it. We even talk like we're dating. He makes moves and I tell him I'm no not that kind of girl. 😇 Sometimes we pretend we're having an affair and ask when we can see eachother again. 🤪🤪🤪

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I wouldn't say fully outdated. Men still do things like open the door, give flowers, etc.

What exactly do you mean by traditional dating?

[cth2188]

I gave an example in this post

[Avicenna]

Well, it's very difficult to find a woman today who wants that and is single. But it's not outdated because it's more genuine than most of the nonsense that passes for "dating" today.

[cth2188]

Agree

[AFretiredTXn]

agree

[cth2188]

I'm traditional, but refuse to date as there's many factors as date. I'm currently rejecting men on multiple levels

[SnowedIn]

Can you define "traditional" for us? That definition is going to be dramatically different for not just culture but age groups.

[cth2188]

Everyone has their views on traditional dating, but it's dating with morals, integrity, respect, understanding, and patience. It's where men chased women , courted them, treated them with respect, was chivalrous, and had intentions of marriage

[cth2188]

Traditional dating is following the concepts of unions between men and women Godly

[KrakenAttackin]

@cth2188. Funny how you didn't mention what traditional women were like.

[cth2188]

He didn't ask

[cth2188]

Same concepts for women

[cth2188]

Why do you nag 😒 me @KrakenAttackin 😆 🤣

[SnowedIn]

@cth2188 ... thank you for the explanation; I appreciate it. I don't think it's outdated, necessarily. I think that we'll find a lot of people don't share the same views and don't have the same definitions on "morals, integrity, respect, understanding, and patience". And those are going to be different culture to culture as well. So, not outdated but many won't date in a way that matches your view of traditional dating.

[cth2188]

Your welcome and I agree 💯 it would be nice to find someone traditional however

[SnowedIn]

You can/will find them. It will, obviously, take patience. 🙂

[cth2188]

No mate would have to unvaccinated that is small and in few

[cth2188]

Not a lot of men fit the bill nomad

[cth2188]

Nowadays I don't date anymore

[SnowedIn]

I'm confused at your last statement...

[cth2188]

Not a lot of men are unvaccinated nor fit the bill of what I want in a mate so I stopped dating all together 2 1/2 years ago

[cth2188]

I will not date anyone covid-19 vaccinated my only regret not finding someone before the vaccines

[SnowedIn]

Ohhhhh... that makes sense! 🙂

[cth2188]

Yea rocking solo 😎

[SnowedIn]

You seem to have a positive attitude and that's awesome.

[cth2188]

Have too to make it - happy to be married to God

[Rudon00]

Im a strong advocate for traditional dating. it is how I was raise by my parents to understand dating.

Its is a social forum where you get to learn about individuals

[cth2188]

Agreed

[Rudon00]

Yes Cth2188

[Rudon00]

There are still great males out here who are Also searching out females like yourself. So please do not give up on us.

[cth2188]

I have to there's many factors at stake

[cth2188]

There's no dating pool for suitable mates

[Rudon00]

We will talk later. I need to have chat with you

[Rudon00]

You're saying that. I use to tell myself that about females. if we both think like that as Christians. Then we are doubting the promises of God towards ours lives. Its not go for you to be alone neither am I cth2188.

[cth2188]

We're in end time activity and many women / men took the jabs.. temples are defiled

[cth2188]

I've rejected many men who are jabbed was instructed not to deal with them

[Rudon00]

I strong believe we are in the Last days. I took the Sinopharm Vaccine. I know my Temple is not defiled because I'm the righteousness of God and not unto myself. I have not given up on love. I have been single for all my life. I never had a girlfriend and I kept waiting , praying and fasting that God will bring a female companion across my path no matter where she is in this World. I'm not giving up on Love. this year 2023. One of my resolution is that God will bring a female partner across my path. Its has not happen yet but I'm still in faith Cth2188.

Please don't you give up on us males.

[cth2188]

I told God to keep me single until his return as I was celibate before this - the squeeze isn't worth the risk

[cth2188]

Not given up just can't take the risk out here

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Courtship, at least in my opinion is still the better option. You actually get to know the person well before you fall in love with them or become intimate with them. I tried that. I eventually gave up trying as no one is interested.

[cth2188]

I never started

[cth2188]

Yes moone is interested in that anymore

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I meant as no one is interested in me.

[cth2188]

Same it's about sex when guys approach me

[cth2188]

No plans of commitment ltr or marriage just sex now I don't date anymore

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that.

[cth2188]

Or they had bad relationships with women its sad - crazy thing is i have limited to no experiences with men

[cth2188]

Passport Bro , Red pill , Feminist movements RED FLAG

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Would you mind explaining what those are?

[cth2188]

Movements that Western people have created men and women

[NostalgiaSenpi]

What is a Passport Bro , Red pill , and which feminist movement, the third? I'm sorry, I'm rather ignorant.

[cth2188]

Movements western society create I learned about it a few years ago movements against women and men

[cth2188]

Its sad

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Ok. I'll have to look them up myself, then. Good day.

[cth2188]

Thanks you too

[FilmGuy93]

Not really... it turns out that a lot of women don't go for that kind of thing though. A lot of men have given up

[cth2188]

It's sad women like me just hide

[FilmGuy93]

It really is sad. I feel like a lot of people are just burnt out from dating. They're just over it and want to give up.

[cth2188]

Solo 11 years sex has taken over and porno

[cth2188]

I refuse to talk to a guy who focuses on that

[JayParris]

Yeah, its a thing of the past. Women don't believe in being traditional themselves, so its foolish for a man to carry on with it.

[cth2188]

I appericate it

[cth2188]

I understand

[MikeTheBartender]

I would love the idea of traditional dating still. I also enjoy random women, but I'll gladly give it up for the right girl

[bamesjond0069]

Yes. Totally dead. Women make their own money and so they can pay. Women have casual sex do no need to even date.

[cth2188]

Who 😳 Not I

[notwoke]

feminism put an end to that, no men can just take the pussy and roll

[cth2188]

No thanks why I don't date anymore and stay single - I don't expect anything from men nowadays

[notwoke]

yeah, it goes both ways. ain't this great

[cth2188]

Not seeking sex- open to friends, but nothing more

[notwoke]

most often, men are seeking sex, not interested in platonic female friends, people used to meet in the middle

[cth2188]

I'm good 👍

[cth2188]

I got toys for that

[EaterPeter]

I hope not. Nervous, warm and fuzzy. Butterflies

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[cth2188]

YW ❤️

[serious]

Traditional dating? I have never heard that.

[cth2188]

Sad so sad
