The New York Times Says Dating is Dead, Ivy League Daters Disagree

College dating startup, DateMySchool, releases data on its Ivy League users’ dating trends.
 
Jan. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The New York Times’ article “The End of Courtship?” claims college students don’t date, but with more than 200,000 users courting campus crushes nationwide on DateMySchool, the college-dating site is not convinced. Analyzing how its Ivy League members’ responded to dating questions, datemyschool releases Ivy League dating trends today:

Ideal First Date: Even in 2013, 54% of Ivy Leaguers say they’d still woo over dinner.

Bill Paying Etiquette: Keeping it old school, 71% of Ivy League guys would want to take care of the check, yet 68% of Ivy ladies were open to splitting it.

Politics of Breaking Up: 96% of Ivy Leaguers still have the common decency to end their relationship in person, while only 4% would update their Facebook relationship status to “single” or text their farewell.

Datemyschool co-founder Jean Meyer says the data suggests that courtship has not ended and credits datemyschool for helping students score dates in a click: “Because of our safety and privacy features, our users tend to land dates within thirty minutes and we’re responsible for over fifty percent of the dates that happen at schools, like Columbia University.”
