...of dating. David Blow writes in The NY times: "The paradigm has shifted. Dating is dated. Hooking up is here to stay. (For those over 30 years old: hooking up is a casual sexual encounter with no expectation of future emotional commitment. Think of it as a one-night stand with someone you know.)... It used to be that “you were trained your whole life to date,” said Ms. Bogle. “Now we’ve lost that ability — the ability to just ask someone out and get to know them”
Sigh... ladies, I keep telling you, but you never listen - we need to urgently act to prevent such a societal breakdown - so let's have some initiative and pro-action on this! I mean, I am sure you've figured out that we guys are really bad at this and before we start thinking "Hey, come to think of it... a hook-up is actually not that bad, right..." so let me reiterate, action is the need of the hour, quickly reach out to the men around you!
PS: A comment on the article - "In the UK, you meet people through friends, hang around in groups for a bit and then find an excuse to go home together one night. If the sex goes well, then you start going out to dinner alone, introducing them to your other friends, etc". I like.
