Dating is nothing like it used to be for the younger generation. I am pretty sure many have noticed this. Those in their 20's are not much into dating. Some are more focused on becoming established and having a flourishing career. There are however a small percentage that is into serious dating, but there are not much of those around.

Traditional dating has been practically dissolved for the younger generations that have entered the professional scene. Most of them now focus on their careers instead of on family. Professor Scott Hall, a family studies expert at BSU, stated that the research expressed that people are far more focused on their independence rather than settling down.
The numbers show that the average women are now getting married at 26, while the number was 20 in the 1950s. But it is not just women, as men are now putting off marriage for nearly a decade, as compared to their grandfathers. For the young adults that have decided to focus on individual pursuits, rather than small-sphere communal, Hall questions the ability to adjust to the concept of monogamy once they are ready to settle down.
Since younger people are waiting longer to get married and are soaking in an independent lifestyle, this causes for them to be very picky when it comes to choosing a partner. The way of dating also has a lot to do with this.
Internet and for-sex dating give young persons a chance to explore their options prior to marriage, says Hall. BSU students Kristen Windstrom and Emily Carpenter both noted that they see the internet's effects on their dating experience, as well as those they know. No guys have the courage anymore to come up to a girl and be like, 'Do you want to come out on a date with me?'" Windstrom said.
Online dating is also something that must be questioned because is it really dating? Just talking to someone on the internet and on the phone can't really qualify as real dating unless you guys are really meeting up and having face to face conversations. Now there are those in the younger generation that are no for online dating.

Some of the younger generation needs help with dating because they do not fully understand how to date and that seems to be why they interact (or even not interact at all) the way they do. We are in a society where the younger generation is more career driven and it can be questioned is that a good or bad thing.
