Hint: She’s more in control now.
If you were old enough to have a crush in 1997, do you remember how important ligaw was back then? Yeah, we can barely remember now either.
Thanks to the rise of the internet, there’s been a faster spread of information from more liberal countries to our corner of the world— including feminist ideas that have gotten Pinays to challenge gender stereotypes both in life and love. Here are significant ways dating has changed for the Pinay since 1997, when Cosmo first launched on these shores. What a time to be alive.
SHE MIGHT MEET THE LOVE OF HER LIFE ONLINE.
Twenty years ago, if a friend had told you she’d met her new boyfriend in a chatroom, you would have gaped at her and said, “What if he’s a serial killer?!” Nowadays, if a friend tells you she found her bae on Facebook, you wouldn’t even bat an eyelash. Instead, you’d squeal, “Patingin ng pic!” Dawna, 32, met her husband when they both commented on a mutual friend’s FB page. Since he was based in Canada, the platform that brought them together bridged the many miles between them, too.
Annie*, 32, who met her fiancé on Tinder in Ireland, is grateful that dating apps give people the chance to meet matches they probably would have never met IRL. In other words, yes, there’s true love on Tinder!
SHE’S MORE CASUAL ABOUT DATING.
