Modern Courtship.

icyfroth — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:09:57 GMT

OH works in an office with 3 young female colleagues, all in their 20s.

He's quite used hearing about their sex lives, drunken antics, pregnancy false alarms and period pain discussed openly in front of him.

Lately one of them has split up with her boyfriend and is back on the dating scene. Recently she accepted a lift off a young man who has since been sending her dic pics per mobile phone. This seems to be quite standard for an invitation to take an acquaintance further.

She has now agreed to meet him for a one-night stand at a hotel somewhere in the city on the weekend.

So this is modern courtship.

Yesterday on another thread I was suspected of being old-fashioned and sexiest.

I guess I must be, because I find that quite disturbing. I hope he at least buys her dinner first

Who said that romance is dead?

As long as they are both consenting adults and practice safe-sex .....

She should take the pic and make sure it matches. Could belong to another.

OMG womankind has lost so much in the race towards 'equality'. Incidentally, I have always thought of myself as an equal, just different.

Icy, I doubt that all modern courtships are like that these days.

I'm sure not all are like that, Haize, but I hear of it a lot, even from the youngies here at work.

This has nothing at all to do with courtship, they are simply meeting for a one night stand. Thats it nothing at all to do with a long term relationship by the looks of this

Its called .....A friend with benefits....

My stepdaugher works in an office and I dont think it happens at her work place, she would have told us if it did, she is very open on all matters.

Not saying it doesnt happen, but I think the majority of young adults that have jobs are more likely not to do it.

oh right...

In my day you would expect the young man to jump through a few hoops before you even accepted a dinner date. Then if he plied you with a few drinks and gave you lots of compliments and you liked the cut of his jib and you got your champagne goggles on, you may let him talk you into taking it to the next level.

That's after you played hard to get for a while, just for the fun of it.

She probably already 'met' him when he gave her a lift home.

I doubt that most relationships are formed that way. I hope not.
