Going on a date today is very easy, thanks to the help of dating apps and we enjoy more relaxed rules than previous generations had.
However, even if you choose to flirt through an ‘app’, there are still certain elements that can make it difficult to get a date: what app to use, how to build a certain profile to attract the right type of people, be careful not to fall for in cheating, keep all messages up to date and be careful when choosing a place for the first date.
Yes, romanticism has completely changed. The magic of the first fortuitous moments and the coquetry of the crossed glances between complete strangers have given way to the meticulous inspection of the profiles on the network, as if it were a showcase of hearts.
Flirting in the 21st century has nothing to do with the strict ethical codes that were in style in the first half of the 20th century. Every year thousands of books and magazines were printed dedicated to teaching young people to respect the etiquette in a first encounter. Now, those texts seem to belong to prehistory.
From creepy macho gender roles to things that were considered bad taste without being so at all (at least today), all of these rules wouldn’t last two minutes on a date today.
