Dating

This week I class we learned all about dating and stuff along those lines
I think dating is great and a good way to get to know someone. Dating obviously leads to different things and in class we talked about the steps
1st dating-hanging out with someone getting to know them
2nd "courtship"-you've met other people and decide that you want to be exclusive whicheach other
3rd-engagement
4th-marriage
While talking about these steps In class someone brought up "DTR"
Which means "determine the relationship" and this is when two people in the relationship sit down and "talk" about where the relationship is going. This sparked a good discussion in class. Some people say there awkward some people say there necessary, and some say that there taken to seriously.
I personally think it is important but it needs to be done in the right way. I think it's important not to be rushed into or pressured into. I think it needs to be done casually and I know that might not always happen but I just personally think it needs to be done but in the right way.
