[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the more important thing for me as a parent is for my kid to be at a college where there is SOME dating culture.

[b]Many of us with kids in college (and hearing how things are from our kids and from the kids of our friends) are finding that this doesn't really exist at many schools. [/b]

I'd rather my kid not meet with their ultimate life partner in college but it would be nice for them to have some experience with the opposite sex before age 21.

I'm hearing this more and more now, too, and I'm super surprised by  this.  What is happening?  Why is this happening?  Please give me some insight. 
Mine are not in college yet.   I do want them to date in college.[/quote]

Dating apps, and Gen Z is probably the most socially anxious generation in history. [/quote]

I don’t find kids socially anxious at all.  My teens and their peers all date, attend parties, and hang-out in small mixed gender groups. They have guy friends and behave normally.

I am surprised to hear posters claiming that students aren’t dating in college. I echo what another poster said, which is I wouldn’t want my child meeting their spouse in college. I consider this age far too young to settle down. I’d like my kids to enjoy their twenties without the obligation and burden of marriage. That said, I do want them to date! It’s fun. [/quote]

What colleges do your teens attend?[/quote]
