Dating
Dating has come a long way. Prior to the late nineties, if you had a crush on a girl and school was out, you had to search through town in hopes of physically finding her. If you had her number, you could gather your guts and phone her on her family’s telephone line, but you’d have to get through her father (or mother) just to talk to her. Nowadays, teens exchange emoticon-filled messages on cell phones and social networking sites. Online, users post flattering photos (which probably conceal their major flaws) on their profile and flirt with other users on the site. It almost seems like some kids prefer communicating their emotions behind the protection of an electronic screen to talking face to face.
Speed dating has also become more commonplace. These ultra-efficient events are arranged to give bachelors and bachelorettes the opportunity to meet as many eligible candidates as possible within a specific time. These events can be massive in countries like China, where a nationally imbalanced ratio of men to women has intensified the pressure to get married by the right age. More traditional approaches, such as posting personal ads in a newspaper’s classified section, are still around as well.
Morally speaking, Western society seems to be becoming increasingly promiscuous. One-night stands and flings are becoming commonplace. Due to the rise of STDs, contraceptive use and medical testing has become increasingly important as well.
An interesting question concerns the issue of chivalry: the custom from in the Middle Ages of treating women with honor by opening doors for them (commonly expressed by the “ladies first” mentality). Nowadays, people say chivalry is dead. That may be true, but the question remains: who killed it — men or women?

Lyrics
See the mirror in your eyes
See the truth behind your lies
Your lies are haunting me
See the reason in your eyes
Giving answer to the why
Your eyes are haunting me!
Falling in & out of love
in love, in love
Falling in & out of love
your love, your love
See the mirror in your eyes
see the truth behind your lies
Your lies are haunting me
see the reason in your eyes
Giving answer to the why
Your eyes are haunting me!
