Comparing dating in my country 2. These days, in Spain, a large part of population does not want to marry or have children anymore, both men and women. As a result, most of today’s couples are dating a short time and then, they break their relationship in order to start a new one. The age to start dating with someone is between 15 and 18 years old, but these relationships just take months. Another difference with the past is the way couples communicate to date in a place; they use different methods, such as mobile phone, email or telephone. And now, it’s not necessary to meet their parents and girls can arrive their home at the time they want; there is more freedom. Also, when couples go out they go to pubs and discos at night, and sometimes, to watch a film at the cinema. Do these changes mean that couples today have a less romantic relationship than my parents had? I personally believe that they don´t. Because in my opinion, every generation is different from the previous and everyone have to follow the evolution of the world and technology.

Comparing dating in my country. The way people date with another people have changed in a big way over the last 30 years. But we are going to ask ourselves a question, are these changes positive or negative? It´s difficult to know a lot of things of dating 30 years ago, because at that time I did not exist, but at least I have my parents and I can ask them. They said that the way young people date with another people was totally different than now. In their generation, young people were looking forward to getting married and having kids by the time they were 18. Sometimes they started to get to know before. Apart from that, couples could not communicate by telephone, because it did not exist in all houses, so they wrote a lot of letters. Also, boys had to pick up girls in their houses so that their parents met boys. Then, girls could not arrive home too late, always before midnight. Other thing my parents have told me is the fact that they went out to dance in a party in the afternoon, after they finished to have lunch. I believe that my parents memories are special for them and at that moment dating was made in that way and they followed these rulers.

My first time Hello everyone. I'm just testing how notebook entries work. Next time I will introduce myself in order you know who I am. But for the first time I want to see how this message is published. Also I want to say that I would like to improve my level of English because I know I'll need it in my future job. I'm from Spain, so I could help you in your learning of Spanish and also if you want, we can talk about culture and customs from here. Apart from learning I would like to make friends in other countries. Maybe in the future I'll need their advice when I travel to their countries for holidays or job. And I think it´s really important have friends in all parts of the world. That's all for now! I'll write you other day because now I have to leave. Greetings.
