Not to go against a popular grain but this article irks me the wrong way - the gender role are so defined in this man's opinion. It's the girl who has feels a little shame and the guys who feel off-balance? Who said the balance position of men was all that great the first time around? And if we go back to the previous society traditions, aren't we just reverting back to another forced dialogue?
And my thoughts are quickly slipping into rant territory...
I love romaniticism and courtship and the first bloom of love and I love to the way our culture keeps redefining ourselves with relationships and meaning -- but what this man describes is a longing for when the rules were all laid out for him and both genders. If a guy isn't quick enough to court in his own special, unique way then, ladies/laddies, is the guy for us?
