I believe dating has become easier with online dating
Most of my dates have come from either online dating or a fling at a night club
Do you think the old days of traditional dating are dead?
You mean more casual dating vs committed dating? Def. We are now currently living an ADD dating world. Hopefully this will change but chances are slim. If you haven't read Brave New World, you should check it out. It was written 75 years ago but based in the future. Mr. Huxley was writing about us.
Traditional dating is dead and has been for a while. It has been absolutely decimated by the sexual revolution and feminism (and the resulting decline in morals and values). It will not be coming back anytime soon.
Traditional dating appears to have been dead for a bit now... I'm not out there so I can't say for sure, but from what I gather from CD and guys I've worked with... yeah...... call in the coroner, it's done.....
I will tell you what. Dating has been really strange. People don't realize how much content has influenced our thought processes. Even when you have an op posting a question, they always use preemptive language to avoid seeming as if they aren't following the "book of rules". Example, while describing their situation, they will say things like "well, I made sure to call after 3 days, I didn't act clingy and kept it short". Much of that is to avoid looking like a novice.
But people don't realize how much of the above plus all the rest of the influential content is impacting the real world dating game. People are so used to being lonely that when it's time to get down, they act like they are online and forget how to communicate. They confuse the two. They don't know how to gauge, be patient, look for cues, etc. They are so interested in their feelings and needs being met that they aren't paying attention to how they are acting to meet the needs of the other.
A simple thing such as a text to say sorry you didn't call someone back when you told them that you would goes a long way- especially in the early stages of meeting. But people often mistake a phone call with swiping and simply move on without a second thought. It's really bad. It's not my personal view, it's just how everything is today and it all relates somehow.

anytime soon? Lol.
It's pretty much dead for good..i mean, you still have the few men and women out there are still traditional in dating..but they may as well be unicorns nowadays.
Not dead at all. Guys ask me out the same way they always have. And same with every other female I know. Maybe for the kids it's changed...but not so for us older folks.

I'm with you. It's the same way in my nursing home... err neck of the woods. I still have conversations in real life with people, that sometimes result in dating.
Just as long as we go to the early bird special, so I can be in bed by 8, and let my dentures soak overnight.
Not necessarily. But I preferred online dating. I was approached quite a bit in "real life," but was not interested in "traditional" dating methods.
