Dating: What's the Point?

In my opinion, the ‘anti-daters’ are not realistic. In order for someone to spend time with a potential love interest, he or she needs to go on dates with that individual. They assume “dating is all about sex.” True, many college students on campus do “hook up,” an ambiguous term; however not all students do. In addition, these students may feel this pressure to “hook up” because of the apparent frequency on campuses. I think many teens, not just college students have a pressure to “hook up” because of their peers. A distinctive line that I read from Chapter 5 was “Falling in love makes people appear to us as gifts.” I believe that a dating relationship with another person makes one discover characteristics that he or she may not have found otherwise.
