If you had it to do all over again....would you date again in 21st century North America??

Those who are of Gen-X and Gen -Y might give a different answer than the Boomers, I'm sure. For those of you do you remember when dating was safe and sane, there weren't so many dysfunctional people out there, and the social culture was a lot more traditional?

My answer....No I would go to India to live with a traditional family and see if they couldn't put me in one of those arranged marriages

Well if we're in the fantasy realm of time travel, is changing oneself also an option?

One thing I regret is not dating more when I was in middle school.

WTF kind of question is that?

And yes. Screwballs are everywhere. They always have been they always will be. Nothing that far out of left field with current dating pool.

I love dating and the only difference I see now from 20 years ago is we have the internet and online dating. There were just as many wackos back then as now and I'm sure those who dated in the 70s and 80s had to deal with those to. We can do back ground checks to find out if someone has a hidden Ex they didn't tell you about. seen that happen before

Social media has made it seem like there are more wackos now, but they were always there. They just have quicker avenues to get out there and act like wackos.
