Dating: What's the Point?

I think that the phrase, “dating is essentially practice for divorce,” is a little extreme. I understand that some people may be against dating, but in my opinion, I think that dating is a very important part in relationships. After watching the three videos by Kerry Cronin, I think that she makes a good point and agree with a lot of what she was saying. I think for people to have a successful relationship, they should follow the three levels of dating.

I have always thought that the term “hooking up” has not been very clear, but after reading Christine B. Whelan’s article, it is apparent that hooking up means different things to different people. I thought that the stats were all really interesting, and the one thing that really stood out to me was that so many people did not expect anything from a guy after they “hooked up,” no phone call, no text. I also think that it is definitely true that people think that everyone around them is hooking up more often then they really are. It is hard to see how often hooking up occurs because people all have different interpretations of what it really is.
