Why Arn't We Dating Anymore?

I do not know how many times I have heard someone say "oh we are just hanging out" in response to someone asking them if they are dating. Suddenly the term 'dating' has become replaced with 'hanging out'. I remember having a conversation with a good friend of mine and I asked him how he starts dating someone. He says it usually starts out by hanging out with the girl either at her apartment or his apartment a lot. Then after a couple weeks of doing that, and realizing that they like each other, he will finally ask her out on a date. He said he is much more comfortable just hanging out doing nothing with that person instead of planning and taking the girl on a date. I was so annoyed! This is the problem with a lot of guys nowadays and I know girls that are okay with this too. Guys wait until they have really gotten to know the girl before he makes his decision to ask her on a date. Because asking a girl on a date is this huge commitment and means you want to  marry them right? WRONG!
Guys need to get in their head that going on a lot of dates with a lot of girls is actually preparing them for marriage!

There are a lot of positives to asking girls on dates and it shows a lot about the guys character. For one, it shows that he has commitment. Asking a girl out in advance and planning the date is showing the girl that he is taking his time, energy and is committed to showing her a nice night. It also shows other qualities such as being the protector, being able to provide, and preside. Things that are important to a girl! I feel like our dating culture has turned into dating only those who you see yourself being romantically involved with. This is so wrong! Guys and girls need to be going on dates with all sorts of people. This not only helps you get to know more people but it also helps you get closer to finding the person you want to marry.

So basically... GO ON DATES!
