Dating “often feels like the worst, most precarious form of contemporary labor: an unpaid internship,” Moira Weigel writes.
I wanted to highlight this review of Moira Weigel's “Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating”, a history of dating and courtship rituals in America over the past century or so. Now I'm interested in the book. (The headline and the page URL didn't grab me so much, but writers are not normally responsible for those.)

"Dating is pressure and tension. What is a date, really, but a job interview that lasts all night? The only difference between a date and a job interview is that in not many job interviews is there a chance you'll wind up naked at the end of it." -- Jerry Seinfeld
