Hooking Up

The other day, my number 1 commentar, AGF, sent me a link to an article about how hooking up is in and dating is out.  Because I have actually been living for the past decade or so, I can see that it's actually weirdly true.  

I have already wrote an entry about kissing, but not about real-life kissing.  Like, hey, let's just hook up until I decide whether or not I like you.  When I was little, I always thought that when

you were a teen

ager, you were supposed to go on a date, and decide at the end of the date whether or not to kiss the guy.  Well, buh bye to that concept, because in this day and age, it starts with the kiss, and after you make out a few times, you decide wheth

er or not you like this person and want to hang out fo realz.  

Last night I was talking to MBF (male best friend), and he was telling me about this girl that he has been hooking up with.  Apparantly down the road at some point, it might become a legit thing.  I just think that if a teen movie (besides Superbad) ever tried to portray hooking up with randos as a normal thing, everyone there would be construed as mondo-ho. But seriously, no ho-dom required.  

Actually, I just watched Nick and Norah for the fourth time, and it basically subscribes to the mentality I just described, making it a totally modern love story.  Score one for them!  Boy and girl kiss, boy and girl hang out, boy and girl get hot and heavy, boy and girl start dating,  Very nice.

Dating is for the going steady and getting pinned generation, a la Bye Bye Birdie.  This generation is physically active and pretty impatient, so let them slut-out!
