Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating by Moira Weigel

5.0

Excellent book that ties dating patterns throughout the 20th-21st century to economic patterns. It's always good to keep in mind that what we perceive as normal behavior today wasn't always normal, and that our views of the "good old days" are incredibly skewed. Choice quote: "Love consists of acts of care you can extend to whomever you choose, for however long your relationship lasts. Over the past century, dating has changed, changing how people imagine they must be in order to be loved. As it has, love has not stood still. Love changes in time, too."
