What ever happened to dating?

Hello World!

I have been out of commission for a while I know, my apologies! I'd love to say I was doing something amazing but I was mostly visiting family. I did however read a great book, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Fantastic read, dark, twisty, with some love and fun too. Its the first of a three part series so now I am on to the next book and let me tell you, its just as good!

Now to the point of this post... When and more importantly WHY have people stopped dating? Dating is exactly how to get to know eachother, but now it seems that no one is even going on a first date. People are still hooking up, and they are still boyfriend and girlfriend but mostly they are meeting at parties and bars and through friends.

I want to meet a guy at the grocery store who asks me to a movie or out for coffee. If I just wanted to hook up, yeah a bar is fine, but to actually date someone, can't we meet somewhere random?

This brings me to my next point. Yes feminism, women getting paid more, woo, but still when is the last time a woman asked a man out. We women sit around waiting for the guy and he obv takes too long and there we go, chance missed. When will it be, or is it already socially acceptable for the girl to ask the guy out?

Give me your thoughts, I'd love to know what you think.

Have a great wednesday everyone!
