Dating: What's the Point?

I think that dating is a good thing for everyone to do. I say this because if you do not date than how do you know what you really want from another person. A lot of people think they know what they want but then as soon as they get it they don't want it anymore. People need to put themselves out there and learn how to interact with others by just communicating and going on just a date. While dating there doesn't have to be anything serious between the couple. They can just being going out to meet someone new and learn about the other person and themselves. For the dating scene I do not see it with my peers very often. Dating is more toward people who are in there 20s and 30s trying to find their partner. Today hooking up is a big part of our culture. It is seen a lot in college life but also in high school. People don't like to be tired down by a person and just like to have fun. I see nothing wrong with this but I think there does have to be some line as to what is to far. In high school hooking up just usually applies to just making out but in college hooking up can mean anything. I think that is where it can go to far. Going out and having to many partners I think is part of a reason as to why the divorce rate is high. I say this because people become accustomed to being with so many people that it is then hard to transition to being with just one. Overall, I believe that dating and hooking up is good for people to do and to experience. It gives people a chance to learn themselves and to see what they want in another person. There just needs to be a boundary as to how much, how many, and how far until it is no longer ok.
