For instance, as a 36-year-old millennial, I still vaguely recall a time when the internet didn't play a significant role in a large section of the population's love lives.

I'm also old enough that I still remember the not-until-the-third-date-rule (i.e. don't have sex with someone before the third date), but young enough that it was mostly out of practice by the time I began dating.

I also remember when becoming "Facebook official" or letting people know "it's complicated" was all the rage — though, to be fair, I rarely use Facebook for anything other than buying tchotchkes and furniture I don't need from Marketplace, so maybe folks still do this.

If you're a fellow millennial or member of Gen Z, what are some other dating habits or rules you've noticed have fallen out of favor over the years?
