This past week in my family relations class we discussed preparing for marriage,  how dating has changed in modern times, and preparation for marriage. One thing that I found very interesting and that I have seen proven true, is how dating has changed, particularly in how people meet. I have a roommate who believes it is completely normal to meet people on the internet and then date them. Recently this same roommate used a dating app to get a few dates this past week. My main issue with this app was that the way she was matched up with people is if they liked each other's pictures, then they would message back and forth, and she eventually went on a few dates. Needless to say, the dates that she went on were extremely awkward and my roommate would feel that she didn't get along well with the guys she went on these dates with. This example with my roommate illustrated exactly what we discussed in class this week. We talked about how although physical attraction is important in a relationship, similar interests  other factors play into a relationship besides physical attraction. The issue with my roommate's dates was that although she found the guys she dated physically attractive, she didn't know anything about them, and she didn't really care to learn much about them.
