In 1957, the equivalent of this question would have been “Raise your hand if you’ve ever been driven to the top of a hill at the end of a date to ‘see the view.’” Yes, it is a strategy being used more and more frequently by boys our age to coax a girl into being alone with him. But in this era of social media ubiquity and Facebook having become like the third arm we don’t know how we ever lived without, are we expected to accept this as part of the new dating norm?
If you’d like to be taken on dates more than once per semester (or season if you’re not in school) and insist on getting to know that super-shy adorable boy who’s inconveniently friends with your ex bf, then, sadly, yes.

Gentlemen, if you must, at least read these guidelines. Meanwhile, I’ll be picketing in front of Facebook’s California headquarters, advocating for the simpler, more romantic days of telegrams and phone calls.
