It's always high school. Always has been, always will be. After generations of learning how to interact with each other in romantic contexts from media, what do you expect? Especially when we spend our formative years watching media that's written to appeal to people in their formative years, you end up with a lot of people acting like poorly written characters because that's how they learned to interact with each other.

Not to say that our generation is worse than previous generations, of course. Back then dudes didn't know how to not hit their wives. Now we just don't know how to talk. A marked improvement, I'd say

Back then dudes didn’t know how to not hit their wives.

A good manny still don’t know, until the wife/gf teach them, usually via reciprocal means. :-/
