Which would you rather be, friends? Do you approach love and dating with modern views or old-fashioned tendencies? Do you think one is inherently better than the other? Or, do you think it’s possible to be hybrid of the two? Let’s chat! xoxo

I am completely modern, but appreciate having my door opened for me.
This was an excellent question, my friend.
Chelsea Elizabeth says
I love this question! I think for me, it's a mixture of the two that fits my lfiestyle!

Same here, Girlie — i think there's a middle ground somewhere!
Melissa Blake says
That's awesome, Chelsea — and thanks for following! xoxo
Oh, My Darling says
My boyfriend and I kissed the first night we met, but we also now regularly write cards/letters to each other. So I suppose I fluctuate between both modern and old-fashioned!
Casual Jenny says
I would probably say I am more old fashioned in this regard, though I do also see myself as in independent woman.
My husband and I didn't move in until we were married or spent the night or anything. But, I don't require flowers or anything either!
Erika says
I think that, given the fact that we're in the year 2013, we have to be willing to find a happy medium between the two. We can hold on to our old-fashioned romantic desires, but we have to modify them {without compromising our beliefs} to meet today's standards. 🙂

I think for me I would have both options because if you like someone and want the guy to talk to you it may never happen . Sometimes I think it's better to just say hi first ..
Thanks Melissa and hope you are doing well 🙂 Happy New Year

John and I call our approach backwards, or as I prefer, "Non-Traditional Traditionalists". The big milestones are important to us, but the way we get there, or the order in which they arrive, aren't as important as the love that fuels them.
Melissa Blake says
Lena, i love that!
It's great to see that lots of you are a combination of the two…looks like a great balance!
