Old School Dating
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The other day I was thinking about all the cool things about dating in our post-modern, post-feminist society. Then I wondered what it would be like to date back in the day. You know that good old-fashioned courting that our parents and grandparents did.
They had formals, debutante balls, parlor and/or porch visits, and general courting when they were single. My dad scooped my mom straight out of high school and out-romanced some fellow that was courting my mom. He didn’t use money, flashy cars, or pricey restaurants - just his charm.
How cool would it be if we had some of the old fashioned dating?
What old school dating would you like to see make a comeback?
Do you think that you could ever make it happen in your present day dating life?
Modern romance vs old fashioned romance - which one works best?

Morning….
I love everything old school! From the music to the culture…..if you stay true to who you are, and what you represent, and believe in, then it ain’t gotta comeback, cause it never left! Take the suckas out of the game, the cats who lead with their wallets, and let that old school charm, wit, and wisdom take over, then the true essence of dating will come back….methinks, anyway.

the old school dating i would love to see come back is not having sex so soon and waiting until marriage to have sex, but again there are drawbacks to that. if a person waits and the sex is wack, then what?

Morning What I liked about old school dating is that it seemed somebodies mama could always give you a reference about that particular gentleman. Family was still a large part of the courting process.

Good morning Room
Cozy warm cheese grits, turkey sausage, variety of oatmeal flavs, fresh fruit, biscuits, scrambled eggs and hot cocoa w/big ole fat over the top marshmallows and juices for all this crisp morning. Have at it folks.
On topic: What old school dating would you like to see make a comeback? Ole school 70’s house parties!!! The kind like when my mamma and dad hooked up. My dad (coolcat) requesting several Al Green cuts from the DJ for my mamma and falling in love that night. Courting in the living room. Dinner dates at the house so that the family meets your guy and get to know him too. Everybody having fun at backyard cookouts, family dinners, block parties….wow i can go on and on. I wish i could have been a 70’s chic.

Good morning!!! I would like old school dating to come back because I am definitely old school. Oh wait, maybe I’m just old, LOL.
I love men who are charming, thoughtful and romantic. Please bring back chivalry, honesty and integrity - both men and women should be more interested in the essence of the other person instead of their worldly possessions or appearances. Bring back men who give flowers, slow dancing under the stars and romantic dinners at candlelight. Sigh

It’s funny,
Some women say that they want the “old school dating” back. That involves getting to know a person, taking time to learn a person, and genuinely be interested.
It’s not about money, not about “quality time”, becuase back then even the rotary phone call was “quality time”.
It was when a man could hold a woman without her flinching, when she might be courted by other men, but knew who she wanted.
Old school dating required a lot more commitment in dating, that some of us don’t have in marriage.

Old School dating huh? I’m cool with the dating scene today. I like keeping things casual and to me it seems if you were “courting” someone in those days you were one step from trying to marry that person. I think some things will always remain basic, good manners never go out of style. Opening doors, pulling out chairs and the man paying for the dates will always be current. All those other things that were mentioned such as debutante balls etc..still exist but are a result of regional traditions.

I’d still give the nod to modern dating because you have more choice. Old school was good back then if everyone fit into the same dating pattern, which is why it didn’t work.
That being said, I miss the old school dating trait of taking your time, having to past muster with mom and dad etc. That could still happen today if you wanted to, but most men would think you’re a little looney.

Morning blogsville.
Rell hey my friend, you’ve been sounding a little tense in your posts on the ladies lately. Something you wanna talk about? LOL
On topic: Old school was cool but today is as good as it will ever be. Today you have the freedom to do old or new school, your choice. Then you only had old school. Same principles still apply. Lead with your wallet and you buy puddy. Put in some real work and you get a womans heart. With the heart comes puddy, food, shoulder massages, the whole 9 yards.
Its cool also that you can grab a chick now and take her straight back old school. Get her off the treadmill and show her what quality feels like. That chick is gonna ride with you till the wheels come off. Now she can turn around and has ways to show you how much she appreciates. She can take you out, cook, set it out for you too.
This is as good as it gets. Monday a beautiful friend took me to my favorite spot for lunch and today another friend will hit the movie and lunch with me. Dam the 70’s (except for the music), today is it. LOL
Good morning to the beautiful ladies of blogsville. Shortly you will feel a warm hand on your rear. Don’t flinch and don’t fight it, its just The Truth saying hi.

I would love to see old school dating make a comeback. I don’t think it’s really gone, just a little buried. It is nice to be wooed, courted and partake in some of the more simpler forms of dating, e.g., simple walks, long conversation. Like Jill-Scott’s song says….let’s take a walk, around the park, after dark….
Rell this is definitely ME - yea lets return to old school shall we..like a man getting a hot meal for a date, yes back then the ladies would inviter there men friend over and COOK Going out isn’t always necessary. A nice meal, great conversation, perhaps a good movie at home is a wonderful date.
Also, there’s nothing like a good ole house party w/you and your Boo. Wait, boo isn’t old school…LOL…w/you and your main squeeze!

Bunny DeBarge - A Dream
Last night I dreamed That you were here with me And we were in each others arms It was oh so heavenly You held me close to you And whispered in my ear “Let’s build a life together Share love beyond compare”
As we danced to the melody We had so much to share (then the music stopped) In a flash I was all alone (it was just a dream) Haunting me once again
Chorus: A dream, of simple fantasy That I, wished was reality That you’d, come knocking at my door And we’d, relive this dream once more
The day you left You said you would return Just when you wouldn’t promise Said you needed time alone You said you loved me and Someday our love could be I couldn’t understand it I thought we were both happy
As we danced to the melody We had so much to share (then the music stopped) In a flash I was all alone (it was just a dream) Haunting me once again
(Chorus 2x)
Hold me Love me With all your heart
Ohh come back Please make my dream come true for me I need so much for you to see I need you to love me once again

Rell it is just if you lead with the romance then you will fall into the friend zone or be labelled the nice guy
Nah, those were the guys I was the most crazy about. Some romantic men end up in the friend zone because they didn’t take the time to find out whether the woman was interested in them in the first place. Where there is attraction and opportunity between two people, the friend zone doesn’t exist.
What old school dating would you like to see make a comeback?
I’d say, taking your time getting to know someone. I’m tired of some men today having the “if I ain’t got in her draws in two weeks, I’m out” mentality. Dan is right, it does require more commitment to date old-fashioned, because you’re putting more of your time and yourself into seeing if something can develop. Your main focus is on that person.
I do miss the days when you could tell what kind of person a man/woman was by knowing which family they came from. You almost knew what you were getting before you got it. Nowadays, nearly everyone you meet is from somewhere else and nobody knows them but you.
Do you think that you could ever make it happen in your present day dating life?
I tend to gravitate towards men with a good mix of old-school and new-school values. Old-school as in being chivalrous, hard-working, patient and kind….new-school as in being able to support me in my endeavors as I support him.

Ladyj thats whats so cool about the dude. He makes you forget he’s Denzel and he becomes that charchter. Sorry you didn’t like it. I loved it.
Simi she/she’s he/she’s, dl, and all the other groups aren’t a part of my world. They’re free to do their thang but The Truth doesn’t do balls. Actually all these extremes make quality that much more apparent. Notwithstanding For Reals explaination of quality.
REFLECTION and slightly off topic: When I was about 11 or 12 I saw these 2 neighborhood dudes fight. Billy Markham and Poppa (Named because at 16 he already had 2 kids). Those 2 dudes walked up to each other, looked each other in the eyes and went at it. They were throwing knuckles something fierce ( this is from the viewpoint of a 11/12 year old). When it was over they looked each other in the eye and walked away. Those 2 cats had all the women even before the fight. Not because of their ability to fight but because of the heart these dudes had. Alot of dudes aren’t cut like that nowadays. They come from behind you and steal you. Even in the pen alot of dudes stole cats from behind. My point is heart is heart. The same dude that would steal a dude from behind will walk on his responsibilties. A stand up dude is gonna stand rain or shine. REFLECTION OVER. LOL

It seems to me that most of what yall are referring to as ‘old school’ has simply to do with being real and sincere, rather than running some game to get laid and take advantage of the other person, male or female. If there is an ‘old school’ of dating (and I rather doubt there is) it has not to do with being genuine. If there is a ‘new school’ of dating, my impression is that it mostly has to do with superficiality.

I think that you still can have it in 2007. It’s all about who you are and who you attract. Now, you may have go through a few leisure suits, Fedora’s w/feathers, Stacy Adams and several visits to the Crow’s Nestto get it, but it’s still out there. LOL

Good morning Everyone!
Do you think that you could ever make it happen in your present day dating life? This is an easy answer for me today, since I am in the over 40 crowd. I never expected less for myself simply because the men I encountered had changed. I still expect honesty, integrity, respect, fidelity…for a man to make love to my mind. Fortunately, my SO and I are not 100% tainted by our past relationships. Therefore, we do not feel we have to compromise who we are to get what we want in a relationship. I think we both agree that what we have now is what we have always wanted. Not to say that we have a perfect, blissful relationship 24/7 but rather, we are willing to give and take what is necessary to make it work.
Modern romance vs old fashioned romance - which one works best? Give me old-fashioned romance any day! People had a different set of values and morals during that time. Society and the family structure have changed. With all the rotations and dating rules today, isn’t “modern romance” an oxymoron of sorts? Is it common practice to truly romance? Men and women are capable of bedding several people at one time while they search for “the one.” Hmmmph. Men think that if a woman expects him to pay for their outing, she is a gold digger. Double Hmmmph The games, lies, insecurities and unrealistic expectations cloud the dating scene, in my humble opinion.
What old school dating would you like to see make a comeback? The honor of being a virgin when you get married.

I may be young but I do prefer old school dating. I love being wooed by a man and from what I hear of it, I think old school dating was alot more….real. Like you said, Wise, to a certain degree, men had to use their perosnality to get a woman, not so much the materialistic things. And there was such a thing as courting, drive in movies: all those romantic things that I am a sucker for. (Sigh)

Old school definitely. Back then it was easier to separate the real from the simps. No fluff like it is today. You spent alot of time just straight up talking or walking. You had time to get to know someone. Nowadays the game has changed so it is very possible to put in that 2 week draws or nothing clause. Now I gotta get a few of those songs out my head. Over here thinking bout how I use to hemm em up at house parties.

I mean, lips connected for the WHOLE time, no deviation to the neck, chest, nothing. Just lips. I had the most swollen lips for days. My lips are very full anyway, so with them swollen, I could pass for the Goodyear Blimp! LOL!! It would have been hard to explain that to my mom, so I just made myself scarce until they went down.

He really felt bad about some woman who lost her son to his product. At the time it didn’t affect him because he was only focused on the money. Real ballsy dude.

I think that your statement Back then they deserved respect… is bogus. And here’s why.
Meeting a man and dating him you get to know that man. To generalize and say that men of this generation haven’t earned respect is kinda foul.
Personally, being a third generation b*******, I am dead for real about taking care of my kids (when I get them). So to assume that none of us have failed to recognize the past and are working to stop it, is kinda f*&87ed up.

Oh, puh-leeeeze. Resort to such mindless insults if you can’t offer a meaningful thought, if you must.
Were the 1970’s not the setting for the sexual revolution, the one where sex won? Do you suppose that something you call ‘House Parties’ are strictly a relic from that era? How provincial.
Were people more genuine in the 1970’s? Sure, but that’s across the board, not just as relates to dating and romance. For instance, politics wasn’t best described as beating the public over the head with an insulting catch-phrase or slogan back then, until they believed that’s all that mattered — say ‘flip-flopper’, ‘race-baiter’, come up with some more of your own. The nation wasn’t consumed by the paradigm that all one must do is repeat the same lie enough that people come to believe it’s true. I suppose that sort of thing can be said to carry over into dating and other personal relationships.

I’m looking around making sure that no neighbors were watching, I was so nervous. Just then, we heard the garage door go up and it was my mama. We were like “Oh hellz no!!!” I made him hide in the bathroom while I tried to calmly explain to my mother that he was in the house and why.
Even though we didn’t even get a chance to THINK about doing anything, I was still on 2 weeks “punishment” for that one.
Oh, the memories of being on “punishment”! I was on punishment for something or other from about age 14 through 17. My mom got me my own phone line for my 14th birthday, so that she could get a chance to use the phone sometimes. I didn’t even get a chance to use it for 6 months because she took my phone! LOL!! But what she didn’t know is that I had bought my own phone and I only plugged it in at night with the ringer off, and I cleverly ran the long cord under the dresser to under my bed, and covered the inches of exposed wire with a haphazardly placed towel. I was actually on the phone EVERY night and there was no extension for her to pick up and find me out!!! Too slick for my own good, I was…

Good Morning All,
Old Skool Dating reminds me of…
Sweaty hands, school dances, the Prep, the Smurf and giant boomboxes. Hightop fades and Kid n Play. A party where no one went home stabbed or shot. Playing hide and go get until the sunset, and then catching lighting bugs in a jar. Passion Marks on your neck and chest. Try explain why you are wearing that turtle neck. Sneaking in late, meeting for dates at the mall.
Wearing his class ring, and sneaking kisses in the hall. Passing notes in class that say.. Do you love me..Check yes or no. Dating Old Skool was cute, innocent, slow and easy not fast. Cant remember ever once having someone say hey can I tap that a*?

The memories of being on punishiment. I was always on punishment it seemed for my sassiness. The Temptations “When Poppa Was a Rolling Stone” immediately comes to mind. My mother was dating a man I did not like. She was hosting some type of party. I was around the age of 14, thinking I’m cute and all that. Not many people had arrived when the song came on. My mother was standing behind the bar in the corner of the living room. When the phrase “poppa had two outside children and another wife” came on I belted it out a bit too loud for Mama.

But my mami was so cool she hung out with us and then if it go too late she told the boys to call their parents and she would let them know that it was ok for them to sleep in the living room because she would feel awful if something happened to them on the train going home. The parents were ok with that..so they would not have to pay $20+ to get them home by cab.We never treid anything because we did not want to lose my mami’s trust and not be able to have parties again.

Ole School Memory
I remember being a Jr. High dance and grinding with my boyfriend til he almost lost it in his jeans. And I remember my pelvic area being real sore.
I also remember ducking behind the bushes to grind and kiss on the walk home from school.
One of my fondest memories is when I was in 9th grade, we went to the school library as a class to watch the Learning Tree by Gordan Parks. The lights were off and my boyfriend stuck his hand down my blouse, cause he wanted to see what my breat felt like. LOL
I also remember around the holidays we would go to my aunts house and all of the kids would be in back room. And we were afraid because of those glow in the dark zodiack posters on the wall and my older cousin had a huge azz fish net hanging over his bed and beads for a closet door. The whole house smelled like weed and incense. LOL

Amazon When you think of it, that was over 20 years ago. New Edition has been together for 25 years now, is that not unreal? The 90s were the New Jack Swing years. I do have an “old soul” though, I get it from my mama playing all the hits from the 60s and 70s while I was in the crib, the actual crib. But as long as you can say that you didn’t have to ride around in a car seat when you were a baby and you can remember an actual activity you did with your friends as youngster simply called “going walking” (as in, “Hey ma, can I go walking with Amazon?”), I think you’re old school!

Remember them first Jordans and Members Only jackets. The Blue and white Adidas jogging suit. That black Miami Heat Starter with the hat to match.

We always had a blanket near and we would feel on each other under the blanket on the dark school bus. The boys always tried to put a finger in the “honey pot.” The girls were always interested in the size and lenght.
That’s when I learned the difference between circumsized and uncircumsized. LOL. Awh…the memories.

That was back in the day when you didn’t have to show your ID to by cigarette’s…lol. I’m from the West Coast, so I used to ride my blue Beach Cruiser up to the store to get mom’s cigarette’s and a pack of Fun Dip for me that I used to pour into my hand, regardless of whether or not my hands were clean, and licked every bit of it…LOL.

Now, you KNOW you can’t mention that without mentioning where you got them from… THE CANDY LADY!!! She lived right across the street from my Big Mama’s house!
And what about sneaking late at night to listen to old Richard Pryor comedy albums cause you KNOW your parents would kill you if they knew you heard it. I remember my parents and their friends listening to those albums behind closed doors, and all we could hear was the occasional MF. LOL!
DuShawn Man, you brought back memories of picking plums and of having to pick up those dayum pecans at my Big Mama house. She would drive us (in her 12 ft. long Ford LTD with an 8-track) to take the pecans for processing and they would pay by the pound and she let us keep the money.
Speaking of 8-tracks and long cars, I remember long trips with my family, especially that one to Kentucky, in my dad’s baby blue Cadillac DeVille with the pointy lights on the back, listening to big Luther’s Never Too Much 8-track.

China Oh Lawd!! Not the band trips!!! Girl, you nailed it!! I got a story for this topic, LOL!!
My boyfriend and I were both in the band and our band director knew we’d probably try to get together on the band trip to Stone Mountain/Six Flags. Since we couldn’t have the opposite sex in the room with the door closed, we staged a party with everybody in one room, then had folks leave out one by one. That way, we could make the director believe that one of us had already come out. We were in there alone for about 35 seconds before he came knocking on the door asking if my boyfriend was in there. He was hiding in the shower.
We finally gave up and admitting that he was in there after the band director refused to leave until I told the truth. We had to go into the director’s room where he called my mama and told her the whole thing. I was in tears. They decided to send us home that night and actually made us pack up and called us a cab. My boyfriend convinced them to let us stay as we were outside waiting on the cab to take us to the Greyhound station. He talked til 3AM to plead our cases. As a condition of letting us stay, we had to ride all the roller coasters at Six Flags, which we did.
When we got home, I was so scared of my mother. She didn’t say anything about it when she came to pick me up so I was thinking that she was going to wait until we got home to commit homicide. So went we got home, I went on the offensive, I tried to explain to her what happened and that I was SO sorry and that it would NEVER happen again. She was like “What? What are you talking about?!?” THAT DAYUM BAND DIRECTOR FAKED THE CALL!!!! HE NEVER REALLY CALLED MY MOM AT ALL!! He was having a one way conversation with a dial tone back at the hotel. I ended up telling on myself and then my mom went to go meet with the band director. She cussed him out too for NOT calling her. That was how I ended up on punishment from about age 15 to 15 and a half! Mr. White, if you’re reading this, I owe you big time for that ish you pulled! LOL!!!!!

Where the teacher broke up the roasting fight which ended up becoming a full blown physical fight. But then we all knew it was not over (only one lick exchanged) So then someone yells out in the cafeteria (THEY GONE FIGHT IN THE BUS PARKING LOT AFTERSCHOOOL!!!).

YES!! And what about that big wooden Fork and Spoon hanging on the wall!! And we even had one of those huge wooden shields in our den.
Girl, I can still remember how much fun it was to ride on the back of my sister’s bicycle before our street got paved. She knew that if she hit all of the bumps, it would make my day! :-) Sibling love!
Me and my sister used to also play this game called “GO TO SLEEP!” (we could make a game out of anything back in the day). We would lie on the floor staring at each other and we would close our eyes. If somebody caught the other one peeking we yell “GO TO SLEEP”! Which was met with hysterical fits of laughter. The game ended when somebody actually went to sleep. LOL! And then at bath time, whoever got out of the tub first would go grab the door and swing it back and forth really fast to freeze the other one to death!! I’ve got to try that the next time I’m at her house and I catch her in the tub. Her kids won’t know what the heck is going on!! LOL!!

Now this is Old school Miami for real. There was a DJ at WEDR (now 99JamZ) by the name of Dallas Manual. He had a Saturday evening segment called The Freebies. He would play Soul Finger by the Barkays as the back drop, while he publicly announced the names and addresses of folks that were having free house parties throughout the city. People would take pride in calling the radio station and giving their info and then hear their party announced on the air. Everybody was invited. You may be chillin with the fellas and nothing to do, so you wait for the Freebies to come on and that’s the haps for the night. That’s before “Crack was affecting Blacks Like That.” If you try that now, every home invasion crew in the city will be there to lay the whole party down.

…if your sweetie walked you home after school and you stopped by the corner store and the $2.00 that he had saved from a month of allowances could get two sodas, two bags of chips and $.50 worth of penny candy each.
…if you ever used an eraser to etch your sweetie’s name into your colored spiral notebook.
…if you owned one of those blue cloth mead notebooks that would turn you hands blue if you got caught in the rain going home from school.
…if you know what store Davidson’s is now.
…if you remember pulling into a service station and your parents having a choice of full or self service.
…if you rushed home looking forward to seeing the lugo men melt and you remember Rodac’s afro.
…if you actually thought a hicky was cool but you knew you better not let your parents find out you had one.

If we could hand down an ounce of the life we had “back in the day/old school. I feel as if our youth would be in a much better place.
I’ve been busy with a horrible market day but with lurking its truly brought back some really good memories. And then some nightmares of pressingcombs. Being that my hair is now natural its like a combination of kuntakinta(sp) and buckwheat says very little I have enough hair thick and long for two or three people. But every time I would get burned my sister would be like that’s a kiss for sitting good. Until I started being natural again I had no idea of what she went thru, I kiss her hands every chance I get. Because I know it was a job that no human should ever have to endure. Now I pay a lady over in Brooklyn to hook it up.

Truth My older cousin use to take me and my younger cousins to the skating rink in that dayum pinto. We’d always try to get us to drop us off down the street but his dummy behind would drive right up to the front door. It was white with red trim. lol

*adjusting my shades * LOL. Thanks for the Fun House love all. I kept that stuff til it fell apart. But the only reason why I was on celebrity week is because my friend I auditioned with didn’t make the cut. He was too stupid in the audition. LOL. He said there were 5 days in a week.
I wish I still had the tape, I’ve been looking on YouTube forever. If I ever find it you guys can see 11 year old AmazonRed getting “slimed” on national tv. LOL
Good night all!
