Dating Customs
Ex. 6. a) Read the text and discuss the changes in American dating customs:
Will You Go out with Me?
The article from Newsweek was written by a student at the University of California at Berkeley named Laura Ullman. It describes the difficulty faced by a woman in deciding whether to ask a man out on a date.
The article discusses American dating customs.
Every day I anxiously wait for you to get to class. I can’t wait for us to smile at each other and say good morning. After a month of desperately desiring to ask you out, today I am going to. Encourage me, because letting you know I like you seems as risky to me as sky diving into the sea.
I know that dating has changed dramatically in the past few years. I was raised in a traditional European household where simply the thought of my asking you out spells naughty. Growing up, I learned that men call, ask and pay for the date. During my three years at the university, I have learned otherwise. Many Berkeley women have brightened their social lives by taking the initiative with men. My girlfriends insist that it is essential for women to participate more in the dating process. More women are inviting men out.
I keep telling myself to relax since dating is less stereotypical and more casual today. Most of my peers prefer casual dating anyway because it’s cheaper and more comfortable. They enjoy last-minute “let’s make dinner together” dates because they not only avoid hassling with attire and transportation.
Casual dating also encourages people to form healthy friendships prior to starting relationships. Men and women relax and get to know each other more easily through such friendships. Casual dating is improving people’s social lives. When she wants to let a guy know she is interested, she will say, “Hey, let’s go get a yogurt.”
Who pays for it? Many young people prefer going Dutch. “It’s safer and more comfortable when we each pay for ourselves.”
Men and women alike are confused about who should ask whom out and who should pay. I am grateful for casual dating because it has improved my social life immensely by making me an active participant in the process. Now I can not only receive roses but can also give them.
Sliding into his desk, he taps my shoulder and says, “Hi, Laura, what’s up?”
“Good morning,” I answer with nervous chills. “Hey, how would you like to have lunch after class on Friday?”
“You mean after the midterm?”.
