Reading through this thread has really reminded me how much dating has changed in 20 years.

When I first asked girls out in high school and early university it was all about calling them at home with some MSN messenger or email flirting thrown in. Then you got cell phones where you could call directly which lead to texting and then to dating apps where I eventually met my wife.

I will say in my experience despite being more complicated dating is much easier these days. It was so nerve racking to ask someone out in person with face to face or even phone rejection being a huge embarrassment. Also your dating pool was pretty much friends of friends and from school or work. These days being able to think about your texts is easier than thinking on the spot and your dating pool is pretty much any other nearby single with similar interests.
