Watch the classical film Grease and one can understand how relationships function in Western Society. The film tells a story of a boy (Danny) and a girl (Sandy) who falls in love. Through a series of misunderstandings they break up, but still somehow care for each other. Through ballads such as Summer Night’s that are still popular today, the film shows how differently males and females view relationships. Films like Grease are like a mirror, reflecting societal values and how it socializes its members. It makes it clear that in relationships, males are socialized to view relationships as mostly a physical, sexual endeavor, while females view it as a perpetual bond –a deeper connection between the two individuals within a relationship.

Instead of the casual hook up nature, stimulated by alcohol and flirtatious body language, traditional dating requires a certain set of skills, which “hooking up” fails to cultivate. Zimmerman writes of this as well in her article. She says, “When two people fall in love, they open themselves up to new possibilities for self-understanding, or what King and Freitas call ‘new ways of being in the world’…persons begin to receive vital lessons in intimacy because dating helps focus a person’s love and interest in a way that is often deeper than friendship” (Zimmerman 55). A relationship, unlike the casual nature of a “hook up”, requires two people to invest time and energy into getting to know one another. It requires the development of communication skills and self-sacrifice, perhaps for the first time thinking of someone else before yourself. And most importantly, unlike in a “hook up” situation, you desire to see this person more than once, or maybe a handful of times. This person is being used in the Augustinian sense – not as an object, but as recognized for their human dignity. Zimmerman describes that there is continuity to a person’s character that is formed by their behavior (Zimmerman 57). Many recognize that there is a disconnect in the skills necessary to have a successful long-term relationship, but according to Zimmerman’s research,

The youth of today are being overwhelmed with multiple messages on what to look for in a partner, and what constitutes as a “normal” relationship (Chang). If you use Twilight as an example for these messages that are being broadcasted, it is clear to see that the examples that have

In the book Dating and the Single Parent Ron Deal walks the single parent through the process of dating again. This book is broken into three sections. Section one has five chapters and is titled “Getting Past the Butterflies and Warm Fuzzes.” In the beginning Deal starts with “Dating in a Crowd: Dating with Purpose.” (29) With this in mind the reader begins to understand you will be dating the entire family. Deal describes different types of daters, and warns the reader against the “Consumer daters who want guarantees” (44) about the dates. These consumer daters want the dates to be their all in all and meet their

According to Gordon (1976), "It is clear to the teenager that he or she should have a date after school, and it is clear to the average man or woman that he should have a mate, family, a circle of friends." Cultural expectations for social relationships change with age. For instance, while it is appropriate for young children to have their primary emotional attachment to their parents, young adults are expected to develop new attachments to dating partners and later to a spouse. Therefore, Daniel Perlman and Letitia Anne Peplau stated that when a person's social relationships do not keep pace with age-related changes in normative standards for relationships, he or she is likely to feel

Relationships and societies socially constructed standards regarding them have evolved significantly overtime. The age in which girls and boys are considered adults, ready to bear children, and ready for marriage has increased exponentially. In the 1800s the average age of marriage for a young woman was twenty years old. This also falls in line with the social standards set for young women and men during this time. Women were regarded as housewives, caretakers, and mothers only while men were supposed to work. It was normal for women to have moved out of their own home and have started their own families by this time. The traditional binary standards for youthful cohabitation and relationships was developed during these conservative time periods.

Why dating? A lot of young people have confused dating with so many things. In fact, when people hear you’re on a date, so many things run through their mind because the word ‘dating’ has been abused, which makes its exact meaning misinterpreted by the public.

The world is becoming more amazing with all of the new technology we have, such as robots. Humans have already started to make relationships with robots that will most likely continue in the future. This is only of many relationships that humans can develop. Among these relationships is one of great importance, dating. Dating can be a very special thing, but has to be had with some rules. I plan to have some essential rules for my children while they are growing up.

As teenagers get older and enter high school, they start getting involved in more activities. As they join activities they will meet new people. When they meet new people they could find someone they want to get to know better. To get to know that someone better they will go on a date. When teenagers go on a date, they need rules to keep them safe. When I have children they will have these dating rules.

These pressures and popular culture demands and guidelines around when a person should start a family played a central part in increasing the presence of hooking up among strangers. These areas include the fact that many people delay in finding serious, meaningful relationships and thus, prefer to find out easier ways of achieving gratification of companionship and sexual relief without the commitment that would be required in a real relationship. These instances of hooking up with a stranger or sexual relationships of a casual nature tend to provide a welcome alternative to the opposing idea, which is a serious commitment that is required in conventional and traditional romantic or love- based relationships. Each of these relationships may have each its advantages and disadvantages and understandably their individual share of risks. The presence of commitment in a relationship and casual sexual relationships have been steadily fading and blurring because of the exposure and the social pressures for young people to become more open, free and liberal. Tomsich, et al. (2013) study, increases the number of writings and literature that has been prepared around the current and growing trend of social interaction, sexuality, and

The concept of courtship and dating has been transformed in the face of youth culture and the generation gap that exists between the young people of today and their parents. With this change, there is also a shift with regard to the advice that elders give the youth on the topic of dating. Not only does the advice vary from generation to generation, but it also varies from culture to culture. In this paper I will discuss the process by which elders give advice to minors in the realm of Panamanian culture.

Adolescents can learn about romantic relationships in different ways but their understanding of how relationships work is primarily developed through their family. Parents or care takers are seen the main role model of their children and the type of family structure an adolescent is exposed to can influence their attitudes and behaviors towards romantic relationships. The current study sought to understand the discrepancies between adolescents from intact families and those from divorced families in regard to their romantic experiences. Specifically experiences such as having a romantic relationship or not, dating stage, influences

Is dating a thing of the past? How comfortable would someone feel if he or she had to go on a date with the entire family of the person he or she was attracted to? Several decades ago dating was quite different from today; people rarely dated someone they would not consider marrying. Going out on a date was a big deal; generally people didn’t go out on a date without meeting the entire family first and if the family didn’t approve the dating was stopped before it even began. Nevertheless, if the family approved, then the dating became almost a ritualistic process in which several dates with the family would take place before the person could even be trusted to be alone with the perspective date.
