Romantic relationships occur frequently in public and higher
educations. This is because in following years, the opportunities to meet other
people becomes ever more restricted. So people prefer to experiment in these
institutions where the risk of potential blow back of a failed relationship is
minimized. For example in college, I know quite a few students who are
currently in romantic relationships. These range hook-ups and dating to marriage
and families. However, there are many who aren’t in a current relationship and
those whose relationships have hiccups along the way. Excluding those who are neutral
entering a relationship, such as myself, there are those who are unaware of how
to enter or stabilize a romantic relationship. This is due to the ambiguity of
gender roles in dating that has been disrupted with feminism’s push for
equality.
Andrew, I agree with you that the risk of potential blow back is minimized in college but I don't think that it is all due to an ambiguity of how to enter or stabilize a romantic relationship... Gender roles has nothing to do with if one knows how to go into a relationship or not. I feel that this could be read wrong to other users as well because it seems like it could be told as an excuse to not be in a relationship.
