Old School Dating
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The other day I was thinking about all the cool things about dating in our post-modern, post-feminist society. Then I wondered what it would be like to date back in the day. You know that good old-fashioned courting that our parents and grandparents did.
They had formals, debutante balls, parlor and/or porch visits, and general courting when they were single. My dad scooped my mom straight out of high school and out-romanced some fellow that was courting my mom. He didn’t use money, flashy cars, or pricey restaurants - just his charm.
How cool would it be if we had some of the old fashioned dating?
What old school dating would you like to see make a comeback?
Do you think that you could ever make it happen in your present day dating life?
