Referring to the assumption that dating is 'essentially practice for divorce', I do not agree. I believe that dating is a good way to get to know yourself as well as the type of person you wish to spend the rest of your life with. With my parents, they dated for many years before they decided to get engaged. Right now, many of my friends and my sisters are dating different people. Even though some of them don't even see themselves marrying and spending the rest of their lives with the person they are with right now, dating is still a good way for them to have a better understanding of who they are as a person and what type of qualities they desire in their partner. My sister is currently dating her 3 very serious boyfriend at the age of 25. Her first boyfriend was her high school sweetheart that followed her through college. In their senior year at PSU, they decided to take a break and see if there was something else out there for either of them. A few months later both of them had new partners.
Relating to the hook-up culture, dating is different. Hooking-up is regarding to sexual encounters, where dating is simply hanging out if you will. I believe that two people can get to know each other, themselves, and who they want to spend the rest of their lives with by just hanging out and experiencing the people around them.
