Young people have been given no guidelines on how to engage in courtship:
It is absolutely true that women don’t schlep to dates unless the venue is somewhere in front of the house where they live. It is insulting to a woman to expect her to cab it over to the date.
It is also absolutely true that women don’t ask men to send Ubers to pick them up like they are prostitutes. It is insulting to a man to demand that he treat you like an employee of an escort company.
The way it’s supposed to be done is that the man comes to the woman’s house, picks her up, and together they go to wherever the date is. After the date, he brings her back.
Most importantly, when everybody knows how these rituals are supposed to work, people can avoid these uncomfortable conversations and not feel humiliated by them.
I know how all of this is supposed to work because somebody told me. Why is nobody telling these young people?
