Dating: A Short Story

Have anybody came up to you and said to you that romance is dead? Not true. Millions of people still believe in romance. Even people who think that they don't, they do.

The theme of the story to me represents a glimpse of the American dating culture. It is how young men perceive women in general. The narrator starts off talking about getting his mother to say yes to him staying at home, then begins to tell us his steps on how to get a girl. Diaz gives him the confidence and When Diaz mentions “… a whole crowd will show up at your apartment… it will be fun anyway and you 'll wish these people would come over more often” (Diaz 20) clearly states his motives. If he does not get a physical connection with his date, in the end is all about getting the girl. Diaz focuses a little too much on the physical part of the relationship rather than the emotional part. His advice follows the same thought process. The narrator is filled with arrogance and confidence, yet sounds as if he lacks familiarity within the dating world while he goes on to speak about the different stereotypes he has about women. His language relates more to a younger audience, and you can tell by reading the context clues of when he says “the girl won 't flow over at all and the next day in school she 'll say sorry” (Diaz 22). He speaks in a tone that implies not to be taken literally. I had to read the story multiple times to get a deeper meaning of what the narrator was trying to convey. This story follows common cliques about women.

In my perspective people around me have been dating since we entered middle, I don't know why but they have.I always wondered what they did because we just entered middle school and they can't do anything but hold hands, I don't think they went on dates because they were too young and I believe nobody’s parents would have allowed it during that time.

Courtship and marriage in 1920s America were evolving. As the younger generation matured, their practices resembled the actions of their elders who were married. Without marital covenants, young men and women began to engage in dating practices. Dating was considered the modern term for courtship and rightly so. Many of the youth had adapted their parents’ courtship rituals into practices that were considered acceptable for the youth culture. These changes occurred in areas such as male dominance, consumption as a central idea of dating, and the sexual liberation of both men and women.

During Gus Khazeni’s presentation of his new dating app, “LuvLuv’, to the circlers he makes the argument that dating is inherently more successful when a person knows everything about his partner, their likes, dislikes, allergies, etc, so that the user won’t make an “ass” of himself and will be able to “find love and produce grandchildren” (Eggers 121). The idea of the app is to equip a user with so much information about his partner so that he will make all the right decisions, thus the the date will be perfect and his partner will see him as “sensitive, intuitive, decisive,” and perfect (Eggers 120). Francis and Mae become the guinea pigs for the app during the presentation, and prove the app to work properly as it quickly and efficiently

I followed my friends down to the basement, where I was met with a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar faces. The girls who knew me (and my religion) gave me confused glances, but didn’t hesitate to welcome me into their circle.
