Question: How have dating practices changed from the past?

How did dating practices change in the 1960s?

Many of the dating behaviours in the 60s were considered good etiquette. A boy should open the door for his date. He was also expected to pay for movie tickets, dinner or any refreshments. Women were to refrain from kissing the boy on the first date, regardless of how much they liked him.

Why do they call it dating?

The word “date” was coined — inadvertently, it seems — by George Ade, a columnist for the Chicago Record, in 1896. In a column about “working class lives,” he told of a clerk named Artie whose girlfriend was losing interest in him and beginning to see other men socially.
