[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a bit late to posting but OP, I found it interesting that you stated that your DS had no dating in high school and then listed the “exception” as the date she had to prom that she attended with a group of people. Doesn’t that count as a date?

My DD and friends (brainy, friendly, and objectively attractive) actually had zero dates with zero exceptions. no texting with guys, no hang outs, and when prom or homecoming rolled around they just gathered in girl groups and went out together and took photos and had dinner and generally behaved as though guys didn’t exist at all. They even made their own flower bouquets.

My GenX mind is so confused by this new normal.

The prom invites are a single Snap "do you want to go to prom with me?" an then a reply "sure!" and then that's it. There is no dialogue or anything until they arrange how to meet the night of and then they spend the night talking to their friends and not the date. 
Sure, this is a "date' but I haven't observed it being fueled by any interest or spark or flirting if that makes sense. And there is no further interaction the next day going forward. 
This is what i mean by "no dating" except for prom or homecoming. 
My GenX mind is also confused. Girls I know (outside of a few) seem to have little ability to flirt or relate to the opposite sex. You wouldn't believe it if you saw them--they are as you put it: "friendly and objectively attractive." I say girls because I have girls-I'm not sure how it is with guys. [/quote]
