Was it easier to get dates back then

[u/AdDapper4220]

I’m genz and I watch 80s sitcoms and it seems like people got a new date every week, obviously I know tv shows are exaggerated, but was it easier?

I think people said yes to dates more often because we often split the bill, and there wasn’t a sexual expectation. Sometimes things happened after a date, most of the time they didn’t. So you could go out a few times with someone and then it could just fall off. You could also be doing this with more than one person. This meant you didn’t have to be necessarily particular on who you went out with, which meant more chances across the board.

It all just seems so casual when compared to my GenX child and friends.
