Young People and Dating

By Sienna Nalin


Dating has changed over the years, especially for the young dating. With everyone wanting to gain their independence and be able to provide for themselves, some people forget that life is more than just having a career. The young forget that you can have that career while having someone there pushing you towards your goals while working on their own goals. (Image by margot.trudell via Flickr)

Tradition is basically no longer here. Dating has become completely different from what it used to be. This generation of people is much more set on having careers and being financially stable instead of having a family. People much rather be independent in this day in age.

The numbers show that the average women are now getting married at 26, while the number was 20 in the 1950s. But it is not just women, as men are now putting off marriage for nearly a decade, as compared to their grandfathers. For the young adults that have decided to focus on individual pursuits, rather than small-sphere communal, Hall questions the ability to adjust to the concept of monogamy once they are ready to settle down.

Since younger people are waiting longer to get married and are soaking in an independent lifestyle, this causes for them to be very picky when it comes to choosing a partner. The way of dating also has a lot to do with this.

With there being the internet and casual sex now, dating is completely different. Most guys do not have the balls to speak to women face to face, and vice versa. It is a different scene with people hiding behind technology.

"There are people like who are online dating for years and they've never even met each other," Carpenter said. "That's not dating. Go out one-on-one. Get to know the person in person." There are still some young people going against the trend and sticking to tradition.

As you have read, the younger generation has lost sight of traditional dating. Not all of them have, but most. Yes, a career is important, but you need to be able to work everything into your life because you may be missing out on something great.
