Continuing the Dating Book

November 30th, 2008 | 1 min read

Over at ConversantLife, we're through the Preface of the "dating book." It really needs a title--any suggestions?

This week, we're going to be working our way through the first chapter. My central contention--that dating and courting as institutions are dead--is perhaps the most difficult to prove. For those readers whom have contact with high school or college students on a regular basis, I would love to hear your thoughts.

For everyone else, the commenting action has been a lot of fun. It has been nothing short of invigorating, which I suspect will spill over to this blog eventually.

One final note: if you're reading by RSS and don't want an additional feed, I've spliced together only my posts from Mere-O and my posts at ConversantLife for your convenience.
