Ask people what the rules of dating today are, and they’ll probably ask: "What kinda dating? Speed dating? Internet dating? Blind dates? Long distance email meet ups? Polyamorous communes?" Modern romance can be complicated. But simple isn't always easier, as this fossil of a video from 1946 reveals. Try not to cringe as a boy in a crewneck sweater is forced by his shorter (or surer?) friend Jerry to ask a girl to the junior prom — a girl he is very, very scared of, despite the fact she's trying not to make it "hard" on him (by merely holding still?). For all its antiquated differences, this 1946 video makes one thing clear: Visceral fear and peer pressure are the forces that bring couples together, past, present and future. [Source]
