In the article "The Decline of the Date and the Raise of the College Hook Up", written by England and Thomas, the authors examine how the dating scene has changed for college students. England and Thomas attempt to explain how and why the dating scene has changed and what kids are dong instead. To determine the answers, an experiment was conducted. A few of the essential questions in the experiment were "is the traditional date dying?", "What is the hook up?", and "where do relationships come from?" (England and Thomas 70-73). The basic questions can be found in the opening paragraph of the article and the specific questions can be found as the headers for new sections of information.…

As mentioned before, the process of dating has drastically changed over the past thirty years. One could argue that the respect and value of dating is not exactly what it used to be. In the 1980s, dating would actually involve going on many dates and getting to know a person before committing to an exclusive relationship. In 2013, if a young man is interested in a young woman, he looks at her Facebook profile and follows her Twitter posts. Then after talking for a week or two over text messages, they are in an exclusive relationship. The concept of dating, which can be defined as going out on dates to see if there is a possibility of a relationship, is gone. In present time, once a couple is exclusive they may go to dinner together, see movies, go to a concert, etc., but these activities were not done as a part of the courtship.…
The first encounter in the start of a relationship basically focuses on reducing uncertainty by increasing the pair’s knowledge of each other, in campus, the slang term synonymous in such context is, kukatiana. When was the last time you katiad? Rather, what was your goal? And how did it turn out? This now opens room for unending tales like William Shakespeare’s classical edition of Romeo and Juliet. What’s notable is that, Shakespeare’s characters are always set in plots that demand moral honesty. In fact, it is this ingenuity in creating characters that has entertained many and produced models to imitate, at the same time it has also helped many to be resisted by wickedness. Regardless whether you learn relationship stuffs from books, family members, peers or a host of media…

Dating is a term that carries with it a sense of seriousness and commitment. The concept of traditional dating is not as much desirable among college students. College is their time of freedom, to go out and meet as many people as possible. And, the reality is that when meeting a boy or girl for the first time, usually leads to some type of instant flirtation. Teenagers rarely want to have the stress or worry of being tied down in a relationship while exploring the college world. So, it seems that the casual act of hooking up allows students to have the best of both worlds: intimacy, without attachment.…
When two people choose to forge an interpersonal involvement through communication and believe the bond to be romantic, they have chosen to be in a romantic relationship with one another. In the beginning, being in a romantic relationship seems effortless, magical, and exhilarating. This is before conflict arises and negative emotions cause things to get real and bring the relationship down from cloud nine. While enjoying the initial stages of the relationship is important, it is also imperative that the two individuals are simultaneously building a foundation of appreciation, respect, forgiveness, and trust. Without this effort, once the “honeymoon stage” is over, the relationship will most likely crumble and leave both partakers hurt and confused (McCornack 326). With this said, a romantic relationship is one of the most rewarding, complex, and significant entities in a person’s life, and though it seems as if maintaining one should come easily, at times it can be one of the most difficult challenges. However, if effective communication is executed and both partners share the desire to be together, the challenges of misunderstanding one another and accepting shortcomings can be surmounted and a successful romantic relationship can be achieved.…
When they begin, most romantic relationships involve a lot of happiness. In the initial stages, the lovers share information about one another. After a while each person notices things that make each other feel angry. For example, bad manners might be found unattractive. Little arguments begin to happen in the first few months of a relationship.…
The third, and most important thing to make a date perfect, would be the gift you get for your date. For example, if you were going out for your two year anniversary, you would probably get your date a card with a sweet little not inside and a bouquet of flowers. However, if you were going out for your two year anniversary, you would probably surprise her with a card, a bouquet of flowers, and box of chocolate, and maybe even “pop the question” by the end of the night.…
Try being laid back. Even if you’re on a bad date it is not the end of the world. It’s just a few hours out of your life. Just relax…
There was this time I went out on a blind date. OK, not totally blind, because I'd met this guy on the Internet, and had sort of seen pictures. But this is back in the day when Internet dating only first kicked off and digital cameras weren't what they are now. Anyway, you get the picture - the photos weren't that clear.…
In conclusion, making a good first impression is varied. It can be difficult but with some preparations, you can make not only good but also a great first…
One of the great questions surrounding social psychologists and everyday people by extension is whether or two individuals can fall in love at first sight. This would imply that the non-verbal communication between the two in that moment was as strong and passionate enough to constitute love before having gotten to even speak to the other. To fall in love is to have strong feelings of passion and attachment to another individual. Measuring what constitutes full love is unclear and debatable within circles, but generally agreed to be a very strong feeling that is created. Love at first sight can be described as a signal of the strongly grounded love that may be to come, but ultimately exists as a very strong first impression that cannot be predetermined to sustain itself as genuine love.…
