Guys hold the door for me all the time :) And flowers. I think guys give flowers to girls just as often as they used to.Bookloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103278899892727916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-70586793780925364892011-07-21T21:18:51.542-05:002011-07-21T21:18:51.542-05:00Your welcome, anytime.

I think it's interesting to see how people viewed relationships and what was proper and what wasn't back in the past- like you said. <br /><br />And while I do think we have lost a lot of dating traditions, I still sometimes see them. My stepdad holds the door for me and my mom all the time and I normally don't see guys doing that these days.Sarehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829472672254117776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-71861702490946955332011-07-21T11:09:23.180-05:002011-07-21T11:09:23.180-05:00Those two Boundless articles were really informati...Those two Boundless articles were really informative, thanks. It's so weird to see how dating has evolved. One of the main reasons I read some historical fiction books is to see those type of relationships and how they form differently from the way they would today.Bookloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103278899892727916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-27113920245963129052011-07-20T21:58:32.810-05:002011-07-20T21:58:32.810-05:00Booklover: I found some articles that might help. ...Booklover: I found some articles that might help.

In my experience you meet a guy in your college physics class sophomore year and go out with him for at least a year and a half. Is that dating? Although my old friends like to go to places they call "clubs"....Bookloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103278899892727916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-28181404742604479452011-07-20T16:01:30.407-05:002011-07-20T16:01:30.407-05:00I'd hate to live in a country where I can'...I'd hate to live in a country where I can't meet any guys and the guy I marry is some dude my parents picked out. <br />...We should start a writing pandilla in America! lolSarehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829472672254117776noreply@blogger.com
