Dating: Whats the Point?

I think that dating is not “essentially practice for divorce.” It is more about obtaining a close intimate relationship with someone you really like. I think that dating is important because it helps you get to know someone in a deeper and more intimate relationship and obtain a deep trust with that person. To me, “hooking up” is making out, but then advancing to sexual intercourse. Dating is so comparable to “hooking up” because when people “hook up” they don’t get to know each other. It is sad that people think it is okay to “hook up” with people because it is easy and spontaneous, but it can have serious health risks. Unfortunately, I think that most girls in college have experienced “hooking up,” however I wouldn’t be surprised if some high school girls have had random “hook ups.” I don’t believe in hook ups because I think that getting to know someone is more important.
