Dating

Most people used to date somebody they met in high school or college. Dating also used to be for young people, but as more people post-pone marriage, and millions get divorced, the rules of dating are changing rapidly. There's internet dating, speed dating, dating for seniors, and even though the world has changed, the desire to connect and find love remains the same. Dan Gottlieb will examine dating with family therapist Dr. Robert Gordon. We'll also talk about the growing trend of cohabitation, and hear from Dorion Solot, author of Unmarried To Each Other.
