Which article are you evaluating?
Casual dating

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it's an issue that I'm interested in learning more about, especially due to how relevant it is as a student on a college campus, where casual dating is quite common. This issue is really important to address and discuss due to the implications it holds for the future of relationships and the idea of romance that our society holds.

Evaluate the article
This article includes relevant information to the subject of casual dating, discussing things like types of relationships, who participates in this, how they decide to partake in it and how it works, motivations, gender differences and environmental factors. All of the information appears out of date and multiple perspectives about the subject are addressed. However, this article does mainly focus on college students as the participants of casual dating, and thus gives the impression that it is only these types of people that casually date others. There also isn't given much explanation for other factors like race, sexuality, religion, etc. and how it contributes to the prevalence of casual dating. Only gender is mentioned as an important contributing factor here. This article could expand more on the motivations on a broader level that contribute to this phenomenon, instead of focusing on the opinions and actions of certain individuals.
