I won't weigh in on modern dating and texting etiquette, a subject on which I'm wholly ignorant. However, I do have to chuckle at the notion that Millennials are completely different from previous generations when it comes to the big life matters. They're not. The great majority of Millennials are going to get married and move to the burbs. The data on older Millenials (now in their late 30s) show exactly that. They're just hitting these milestones a few years later that previous generations.
And of course they're not the first generation to feel they're something new and different in the world. When my friends and I were 26, none of thought we'd get married, have kids, live in the burbs, and drive a minivan. No way we were going to live like our parents. We were different.
And yet at 31 we were almost all married, by 34 we lived in the burbs, by 37 we all had kids and drove minivans. And by 47, some were divorced. That's life.
