New Dating Questions for the 21st Century

Cellphones
Introduction | Start Slideshow
Ahh, the modern age. Science and technology have made life so convenient and digital. You can use the Internet to make an appointment at the DMV and control your house’s thermostat with your phones. But although many things have gotten easier, dating has only gotten more complicated. For example, on the Style Network’s reality show Sperm Donors, a man confessed to his fiancée over drinks that he’d fathered seventy children.  His bride-to-be managed to keep her martini from coming out of her nose and she even blamed herself for “not asking the right questions.” Apparently it’s no longer enough just to ask if a potential mate wants children; now a girl’s gotta ask, “How many biological offspring have your college sperm donations produced? So far, anyway?”


Before you get engaged—or even serious with a new steady—the questions that need to be asked and answered have definitely changed. Here are a few we’d recommend sorting out before it’s too late.
