"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
This is one sentence girls do not hear very often. Dating is
a thing of the past. Over the years more and more people have dropped this
concept of dating and are now just “hanging out”. Why is this? I think one of
the main reasons our society has dropped dating is that people put too much expectation
on the meaning of a date. Guys are too afraid to ask a girl on a date because they
assume the girl will think he is madly in love with her and wants to marry her.
What ever happened to going on dates to get to know someone? Dating yes is a
key part in marriage preparation however a date does not mean it will lead to
marriage. A date should be a time where two people can come to know each other.
So what’s so bad about “hanging out” if you want to get to know someone? Well, to
me it’s not entirely bad however it is best to go on a date to personally get
to know someone. A date is paired off, paid for, and planned. This is key in
helping people prepare for their future. A date doesn’t mean they guy wants to
marry you, it means he is interested in getting to know you.
Our society has a messed up way of looking at relationships.
We go into relationships thinking it will not last and will end horribly.
Society has a mentality of “Date them till you hate them.” Now I would be lying
if I said this never happened to me, it surely has. However why do we have to
hate the person we were with cant we just part peacefully and realize it just wasn’t
the person for us? Dating should be a
wonderful experience of learning how to interact with the opposite sex,
learning what we want and don’t want in a relationship and preparing us for the
future. We should go into dating thinking will can grow and learn instead of
thinking man this is going to end terribly.
