The average person in the United States goes on 1 to 2 dates a year. I find that to be very sad because that is how you get to know people and who they truly are. Some choose to cohabit because they believe that it will help them get to know them and when you look at it, it should work, but studies have found that it is not the case. Those who cohabit are more likely to have future marriages that end in divorce, or to have their partner cheat on them. They are not committed to one another because they didn't start out having a commitment, they started out "pretending" to be married without the actual security of being married.
Dating is the perfect solution to actually getting to know someone if you do it right. A date is when you are paired off with someone, other than just "hanging out". It is also something that is planned. When you don't plan what you are going to do before you go on a date it usually turns into just "hanging out", or that it never ends, which can keep you from wanting any further dates with that person. Also a date should be paid for. I believe it should be paid for by whoever did the asking, although many expect the guy to always pay. When these three things are incorporated into a date it will be a perfect way to feel like they are actually taking the time to get to know you and with continuous dating in different situations, you will begin to see who they really are. What I was taught is that no one is perfect we all come with flaws, so pick the ones that you can live with. Divorce is not an option.
