Where do I fit?

Another Monday night has gone by. Sadly it was just a repeat, but in turn I watched a few older episodes as well. I ended up watching the episode where Serena decides she is going to "casually" date this artist she met. Blair thinks it is a very bad idea. Once I started thinking on the issue I decided the two girl represent two very opposing views in my generation of dating. Blair is a very traditional girl over all, especially when it comes to dating. She is determined to be in a happy relationsCheck Spellinghip with Chuck Bass one day. She has also had other serious relationships with other boys. She is not one to just casually date a guy. She resembles the type of woman present in the early 20th century. Serena is her counterpart in that matter. She tries very hard to be seen as a "free spirit." When she started dating the artist, Aaron, she decided she could handle the modern idea of the relationship. I think these two characters are a brilliant contrast bridging today's society with the Grease era of perfect relationships. That what makes this show so interesting and far fetched, yet it is still easy to relate to for most girls. So where are relationships going now. Will things revert back to the traditional, or become so casual, no one gets married anymore?
