W<\/span>hat is dating? According to Merriam Webster, to date someone means to make a usually romantic social arrangement to meet with them. As can be inferred from the definition, dating is generally considered to be a form of courtship, and consists of social activities performed by the couple, either by themselves, or with others. Although traditions and protocols vary widely across cultures, it\u2019s generally accepted that the end goal is marriage or a serious relationship. And although it can feel that dating has been around forever, especially in the West, it\u2019s actually got a shorter, and more interesting, history than many people realize.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS DATING? A SHORT HISTORY OF GETTING TOGETHER<\/strong><\/p>\nSurprising but true: The modern meaning of dating only began to take hold in the early 1900s.
Prior to the 20th<\/sup> century, and certainly before the Industrial Revolution, marriage was a business decision, often decided between families, and based on practical matters such as wealth, alliance building, and politics. However, the changing mores brought by the European Renaissance, as well
as well as increasing access to education and wealth brought about by the industrial revolution, gave young people some small degree of freedom when it came to their life partners; the concept of \u2018calling on\u2019 a young woman, always in the presence of her parents or some other suitable chaperone, became more widespread. The potential couple could at least talk and get to know each other a little bit before it came time for their parents to decide whether the match was acceptable.
As the 20th<\/sup> century progressed, however, a variety of factors meant that dating became a more common means of finding a partner. Women gained more rights and independence, slowly but surely; at the same time, two world wars and their aftermath led to a seismic shift in the world order, and consequently, a change in how people looked for love. As the world became more equal, people looked to things like compatibility and love while searching for a partner.
Although the 21st<\/sup> century dating scene might seem very different, it still shares a few aspects with its predecessors. Firstly, for many people, the end game is still marriage, or at least a serious relationship. Secondly, while family approval isn\u2019t essential like it used to be, it\u2019s still important for most people that family and friends are happy with the person they\u2019re dating. Of course, the level of family involvement varies deeply, depending on culture and religion; it\u2019s not uncommon, for example, for Muslim or Hindu families to matchmake for their sons and daughters, or for dates to be chaperoned in the more traditional of these families. Additionally, how people date depends on their age and region; people who live in big cities might look for love in local bars or attend events, while people who live in more rural areas might depend on introductions from friends and family. However they choose to do it, the end goal is still the same, however: finding love.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

SPECIAL MOMENTS IN A RELATIONSHIP<\/mark><\/h3>\nAnd when people spend time together, magic happens.

FEELINGS THAT SPARK<\/mark><\/h3>\nWhile you can combine time spent together with doing fun things, what tips the edge over from friendship to dating is that special chemistry.
