I remember when ‘One of the main purposes of dating is for two or more people to evaluate one another's suitability as a long term companion or spouse. Often physical characteristics, personality, financial status, and other aspects of the involved persons are judged and, as a result, feelings can be hurt and confidence shaken.’

Any of this still true today or do people just want to hook up and screw now?

I don’t think people should be chaperone, these are adults, who is trying to get to know each other

wave I have a question...
If one were to chaperon, if the couple are going on a dinner date, does the chaperon accompany them at the dinner table and get their meal paid for as well?

I might like to be a chaperon.

Yes, I would like to go along with them, absorb the chit chatconversing and give well meaning advice.

Sorry, I couldn't resist,

"Should people be chaperoned on dates?"

Depending on the culture, religion and age of the couple... Yes.
I see nothing wrong with it

Chaperoning on dates is more a Muslim Saudi thing, women in the West are more free and can chaperon themselves. Two people can get to know each other and fall in love on their own, responsible Western women don't want this interference IMO, this is out way of life, do you want us to become like Moslem's.

It is not just a Muslim thing. It is an "old world" thing. I was chaperoned for 2 years. I wasn't a woman, I was a child. blushing
I am a good girl.. I am grin

Good at whatdevil

I know it was an old world thing in England too, i am talking about today, Muslim women have very few rights compared to their Western counterparts, Western women today don't need or want any chaperoning, are you saying it should be brought back??????

bigjb62: He may have put her over his knee also in the quiet man, but I believe he for sure did it in the movie Mclintok.
I missed seeing this movie. Would this scene be misogynistic today? confused

I think it depends on whether you're a liberal in good standing or not.

Back in the day when my older siblings were old enough to date it was my parents rule that the guy had to meet the parents before the date ever happened.

I remember when one of my older sisters was going on a date and the guy just honked the car for my sister to come out.
My father walked outside and walked over to the guys car and raised the hood and pulled out the horn.My father had told the guy to roll down his window and told the guy "That you honk at dogs and not my daughters".The guy left and never came back.
