Most Important Dating Events Of The Decade?
Its a tricky question, but as we near the end of 2009, I’ve been thinking more and more about what events, people, research, websites, concepts and information have changed the face of dating in the past decade.
As I sift through the options (and there are a lot!) I’d love to hear what you think were some of the most impactful and important dating-related things that came about in the past 10 years. Speed dating perhaps? Books like The Rules (Buy Direct), or He’s Just Not That Into You? What about shows like Sex in the City, The Pickup Artist or Queer As Folk/The L Word? Or even the whole concept of pickup artistry as an ‘art form’, or the increasing number of singles moving towards casual relationships as opposed to long term relationships or marriage? And if I’m going to bring up the whole casual sex and hooking up phenomena, then I also have to mention the numbers that show fewer and fewer cohabitating couples getting married in North America and not using moving in together as a relationship test. I might also want to add online dating, although it did start before 90s but only became mainstream over the past couple of years.
So what about you? What do you think were the most important dating events of the past decade, and why?
