There are many thoughts that the word "dating" brings about. Manyof us have had both bad and good experiences with dating.Most of us can say that those experiences go back to ourteenage years, when we first began dating.
As we developed into a teenager, our maturity evolves andemerge, as does our experience with dating. Dating, the aweinspiring teenage ~thing~ to do, one of life~s greatestmilestones, finally we are into it, girl meets boy or boymeets girl and suddenly we are thrown into the oftenexciting world of dating!
So what is all the hoopla about? In times gone by, courtingwas the olden day version of the more modern times dating.Courting, sort of a catch me if you can type dating scenariowas a societal event. Courting was time to get to know oneanother, to develop a friendship before the routine ofa relationship were thrown into the mix. These days we callit dating, but it is a far cry from the ritualistic courtingthat our ancestors were accustomed to. Or is it? Maybe todaywe are much more open and that openness has become the bigdifference in courting versus dating.
Dating is modern! Dating is hip! Dating is the definitionof hormonal overload! Unfortunately gone are the days whereimpressing them was the aim of the game; whereas today,dating is much more complicated than that!
With many avenues of dating available to us today, datingserves an identifiable purpose to most. Dating is about howto find your first sexual experience, how to find that lifelong partner that you have often dreamt about; dating isabout life experience, an act where it could occur just theonce or could continue for months, often years. Dating couldspark romance or electrify with heartbreak.
