"Love, Reason, and God's Story"

I do not agree with the claim regarding to dating as something you should not do. I think that dating is a good element in the process of finding your 'true' love; however, I think the choice is a personal choice and each individual person has the choice to date or to not date. Within my group of peers, dating is a normal thing, but not everyone does date. The hook-up culture in colleges and universities is a very big deal because at almost all the parties, people are doing it. Also, amongst most friends groups, people are involved with it as well. In the graph in the article "Conflict Over Hook-Up Culture," most people who are told their friend "hooked up last night" interpret this message into that their friend "had sexual intercourse" last night. If this is true, then many college students are sexually active, probably with many different people. This is bad because it can lead to STDs and STIs. According to the article, when a "hook up" occurs, in the days following, the women "should expect" nothing because the hook up was just casual. Only less than 10% of the time should the women expect a relationship.
