hi friends with out knowing the details and character about the person we are dating we should not proceed,, if we do proceed,, there is no chance of enjoying the things after a while ,, if we understand the feelings of others quite naturally then we can have good date,,

Well no wonder. People normally think first, before doing.

I usually think first before any date. I like to Plan, it works well for me that way.

People do tend to do before they think. Sometimes they find regret. However, you can not erase what has been done. All you can do is apologize or find a way to discuss an alternative and move on.
Or you can choose to lose a friendship over it for life.

Seems extreme when there is a better choice.

I think the art of dating has lost its intended purpose these days.

I’m from a dating generation not the hookin’-up... gettin’ with... tappin’ that... generation.

My generation regarded dating as a means of getting to know one another. We might date for weeks if not months before deciding to go steady, which might lead to a promise ring on a chain, and eventually to an engagement before marriage. It used to be a process that involved clear cut stages with defined meanings regarding the intentions of the other; allowing ample time for deep consideration.

I’m surprised to see that a lot of single/single-again people from my own generation have gravitated to the...hook up...get with...tap that...method of dating. I guess they figure they wasted a lot of time the old way and still ended up back here anyway...so....

I'm with Gouti, and like to really get to know someone before moving on to deeper waters.

It always puts me in mind of the line from the sitcom Peepshow: "It's no good. I can't "date". I'm not an American".

We do call it "dating" here now because we took the word but I don't remember it being any different than it is now.

I hadn't even thought about what it would be called elsewhere. Even going back in time another generation, it was different.

Even though it was called dating, we "went out" with our boyfriends...but my Mother dated her bow and my Grandmother courted a suiter.
