Remember when young people used to date? Whatever happened to that?
Archdiocese of Washington ^ | 3/16/2014 | Msgr. Charles Pope

Posted on Monday, March 17, 2014 5:43:57 PM by markomalley

A radio listener recent wrote me about an interview I did on EWTN Radio with Barbara McGuigan. I mentioned that I had been doing a teaching on dating and modesty at a Theology on Tap Session. At that session I charged the men not to leave that night until they had asked a woman out on a date.

This intrigued the listener who wanted me to expand on this just a bit and what if anything she could do to get the twenty-somes in her family (both male and female) to start dating again. Here is something of the response I penned:

Yes I suppose it was on EWTN Radio�s Open Line show on Valentine�s Day that you heard me. As for what to say, it is difficult. The culture of course is dismal today when it comes to meeting something and something we used to call �dating.�

I was telling the young people, at that theology on tap meeting that, back when I was in high school and college, we used to do something called �dating�.

This strange and currently lesser known behavior involved a young man picking up the phone, or perhaps asking a girl in person, to go I�m something known as a date. This involved an actual activity such as the two of them having dinner together, or going to a movie together, or perhaps some other function, together (as in, just the two of them).

He would ask her and she would either agree to go out with him, or not. If she did, he would actually get into his car, and go to her house, and ring the doorbell. He might even meet her parents if she still lived at home. Then he would actually take her somewhere, such as to dinner, and he would spend money, his own money, on her. He was then supposed to bring her back to her own home at a reasonable time. Perhaps if it went well, she might give him a quick kiss, and agree to see him again.

Of course, I say a lot of this and jest, but what makes it strangely funny is that, although most young people of heard of the dating I�m describing, many seldom experience it with any real frequency. Back when I was in High School and College, the goal was to have a date every Friday or Saturday. Frankly very little was on T.V. Friday nights, since it was presumed that most young people would be �out on dates.�

We are living in a very strange world. At any rate, the first thing I think we can do is tell funny stories like these. When I do so, I hope to tweak the young men into some change of behavior where, instead of just hoping to see certain women at group functions they actually seek to court a particular woman, and even more, search for a wife.

As a priest in Washington DC, I talk with a lot of young women and am shocked that so many of these very beautiful women are seldom asked out by men. It�s just crazy! What�s wrong with young men? If I were still young and dating I�d be asking them out!

Some folks blame pornography and surmise that many men prefer fantasy to real women. Others blame the breakdown of the Church and family that used to help facilitate meeting and dating through dances and other socials. Others blame the hook-up scene (hooking-up is NOT dating) wherein men and women gather more in groups, arriving independently and �hooking up� with whoever. Promiscuity also devastates marriage, since there is very little incentive for men to commit to marriage when they get one of its central motivators (sex) for free. And if marriage isn�t a real priority, why court a woman. And is marriage and courting are unnecessary why date?

Perhaps you can state other reasons. I don�t want to be unfair to men. These are complicated issues. But traditionally it was men who took the initiative and most traditional Catholic girls still feel like that is how it should be.

But frankly, I also have to tell a lot of young women today that, like it or not, they�re going to have to take some initiative. For example, if they see a young man who they would like to ask them out, perhaps they can go right up to him and say, �It�s alright to ask me out.� or, �Ask me out you fool.� Or, �when are you going to get around to asking me to dance?�

Back when I was in school, I had several young women who wanted to signal me that they were interested. They would often send words through one of their friends who would say something like, �She likes you, ask her out.� And in many cases, I would oblige!

My college sweetheart got things started with me that way. I was really surprised she wanted to go out with me, she was so very very pretty, I didn�t think she�d be interested in an ordinary guy like me. I also figured she probably had lots of other suitors. So this was important information for me that she was interested, and I acted on it immediately. I practically ran up to her and asked her out.

I am interested in your thoughts, especially if you�re a young adult. What�s going on here? Ultimately I think its pretty serious since it is tied in with the cultural demise of marriage and also the rise of promiscuity. Help me, nearing �codger� status, to understand the causes, and also venture some solutions.

A bunch of predictable responses, kids these days...

quote:

The article brings back memories of a better time in life than what we are seeing today. What happens now is two people meet in a bar someplace, have a few drinks, climb into bed and never see one another again. Not what I consider a long term relationship that started out with a simple �date�. We are NOT animals (although there are a lot who act like it) that senses a female �in heat�, chases her until he mates with her and then leaves to seek another.

Morals in this country have spiraled downward too far. It may never return.

Then we get this gem:

quote:

Nobody is interested in fostering relationships and there is a dismissive and avoidant mindset amongst most young women. You have to constantly prove your intrinsic value constantly, and are treated as if you are easioy replacable. The level of distrust for the sake of distrust is... the �suspicion� is overwhelming.

It make you just want to throw up your hands and not bother with the whole process.

I know I offer a great deal in terms of a traditional dating relationship... I have been told outright how trustworthy and reliable I am... attentive, kind, loving... but when it comes down to the crux of the biscuit, women don�t really appreciate that... they have their own unrealistic fantasies.

It's funny to me because it all relates to their outdated idea of the world. They didn't have online dating, they also likely didn't use the insane amount of time some people put into work and/or school, and there's a lot of telecommuting. The only people I meet are when I step out of my apartment, and sometimes that can be for a day or two if I don't have to run errands.

If you take even a cursory look at everyday historical writing from a generation ago to the graffiti of ancient Greece thousands of years ago you see a common trend of people having casual sex. It's one of the things that binds our species in common.

You also see continually see people lamenting the lapse of morals in recent times that indicate that their generation is going to be the last one before the fall of civilization. So I suppose Freep is just taking part in a long, long human tradition.

If species are capable of evolving due to changes in the DNA, then the DNA, and the rest of the systems, are already capable of that evolution

It might help to think of DNA like the alphabet. The alphabet is capable of creating every sentence that's ever been written as well as every sentence that ever will be written. But that doesn't mean the alphabet somehow has all sentences pre-encoded in it or that the scribes copying the Bible were somehow wasting energy because they were copying letters, words, even phrases that later writers would also use.

Former Top Putin Advisor Sounds The Alarm: Putin Has Already Declared War On Kiev
We're bringing the band back together one last time...

quote:

To: Jim Robinson
You have to understand three things about Putin and the Former USSR:

1. The Collapse of the USSR was staged, or at least planned
2. The Russians always had a contingency plan for what is happening now in Ukraine, if they lost control of key posts in the government.
3. Russia had always planned on putting back together the USSR at a later date of their choosing. The events in Ukraine this time were such that violent force is required to bring it back into the fold of the USSR, similar to the Hungarian revolt of 1956.

Reasons that this is true:
1. All the communist parties are backing Russia on this.
2. International ANSWER and other antiwar groups are backing Russia
3. Obama�s feckless, inept, and irresponsible response to this crisis borders on treason.
4. Russia�s management of their allies, telling them to keep their distance until the time is right (Eg China and Belarus).

I hear that a lot of folks are preparing for Jesus to come over all this mess that Obbabble Lips is putting the U.S. in by his foolish talking. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Ultranationalism + Socialism = Fascism

What is more descriptive of Putin�s government than that? He even has his brown shirts (Night Wolves Bikers). Yet he wants to frighten the west by pointing out neo-Nazis who, in fact, exist in the Ukraine but don�t control the government. Putin�s play book isn�t original but it does seem to be working in the absence of any western leadership worth the name.

We�ve got a president who can�t be bothered to attend his own national security council meetings let alone provide any leadership.
