Over at Feministing, Samhita offers up the ten things she hates about "heteronormative" dating. Over at PushBack.org, Jesse Singal responds. I don't have a lot to say about any of this, largely because my main observation is that different people have different ideas about how dating works, and they tend to happily implement those different ideas simultaneously, making dating a) endearingly chaotic and b) a bit hard to define and critique. In general, things seem to work out when people like each other. That said, it's been my experience that you, the dear people who show up on my Google Analytics, like to read people theorizing about dating (Remember the "Nice Guy Wars of Ought-Five?"), so go forth and obsess.
