“Who’s messing around with romantic courtship?” - do we forget how to do it?

The current generation which grew up in the new technology age is in a higher risk of miscommunication and conflict, which may result in a high number of divorces, says Thom Patterson on Cnn. His article “Who’s messing around with romantic courtship?” explains how the traditional model of romantic courtship is fading. (Patterson, 2012)

Patterson gives on example which says it all: “real kisses are often replaced by cell keystrokes like KOTL.”  (Patterson, 2012)  Do you have any idea what it means – kiss on the lips. If you use this expression rather often, you should maybe think about how many kisses you would really give as there is a huge gap between an SMS or instant messaging kiss, and the real one.

Danae Matthews, as 20-year blogger, says that we jump into action too quickly. Also various TV shows, such as the Bachelor, where many women compete to get the one man, damage our perception of courtship; it presents it as a race based on performance. "If you go into your relationship thinking it's a performance, you're destined to epic fail, says Josh Levs from CNN. (Patterson, 2012)
