Happy Valentin'es Day
The way I was raised was to be beyond polite. The cafeteria lady in High School would give me extra food for my manners. My brothers and I were known around town for our manners, we had that kind reputation. Being that way, I have always attempted to open the door for a women that I am escorting. Changing is time, and it seems to become less conventional. Another thing I have been noticing is the concept of a date. With our generation's lax mood toward dating, it seems as if there is a blurred line between dates and dinner. I myself have some developing to do in the dating department, and I believe most men fit in that category nowadays.
Some women love these small gestures. Pulling the chair out for them, opening that door, doing the dishes, offering to cut their pasta or steak. It isn't condescending, its caring. Feminists are making a sure deal of confusing traditional catering and modern. I have received scornful looks for opening a door for a woman before. It is interesting seeing how somebody reacts to your actions. I figured they had a problem with themselves, because I was simply doing a gesture. I have done it for men as well, especially wait at a door to help an elderly individual move safely through the obstacle.
So moral of that lesson:
So how is dating changing? How do you think it is changing? How will couples react to this adaptive transition?
Netflix is definitely an enjoyable time spender. I believe anybody could say that almost. It is also extremely cheap. Is this a date? Netflix and Chill has become a known term. What do people consider dates?
The definition of a date, referring to romance:
a social appointment or engagement arranged beforehand with another person, especially when a romantic relationship exists or may develop.
Ah. I see. So, Netflix is a date, if planned. Wow. How different.
My girlfriend and I enjoy eating thoroughly. I feel bad because I haven't given her enough dates in my opinion. We've gone places, eaten at tons of food joints, gone out to get loose, even concerts, and yet I feel like I have only given her one real date that sticks out to her. It saddens me. I wish to better myself in this field, so that I can prevail and satisfy the woman that I'm lucky to have in my life. This will only strengthen us, but most importantly it will make her feel special.
Your Opinion
So, what is it that you consider a date? Have you had a favorite date before, if so, what was it man? What exactly do you not consider a date, and where is the line!? Help me figure this out, along with clarify for our entire generation, mainly the little amount of viewers who see this :D

I not only think that the line between dinner and dates are consistently blurred, or more so the simple fact of what constitutes as a date or "quality time" when in a relationship, but the way we go about conversing in intimacy has changed immensely.
Our generation is more concerned with shallow-level arguments, surveilling their other half, and online interactions, than they are anything else. The concept of of connecting on a greater level is not just ignored, but dominated by the effortless act of being together yet being elsewhere, mentally, at the same time.
Small gestures such as opening the door, pulling out chairs, and doing the dishes, should be acknowledged and appreciated a little more each time (in my opinion).
The best things in life are abundantly free.
:D I enjoy your opinions. All of them, please share more often.
