There are.

And there are people who think ignoring them makes them somehow cool.

From:

Meriken told me that everyone was ignoring the little rules that were left.

From:

The people who ignore the rules always like to believe that. They probably feel a little remorse for being morons, so they validate it by claiming everyone else is the same way.

From:

She called me "stiff".

...What rules are there?

From:

Most people still get married; usually to someone of close to the same age, but that doesn't matter so much as long as they're both adults.
Adultery is still a bad thing.

From:

Like, what are you talking about, Liet?

From:

So... you still court someone with the prospect of marrying them?

From:

Meriken told me that almost nobody gets married anymore in her time, and that dating isn't for that, and with how girls run around and how they view- other things...

I don't say that everything is bad, but I- I'm not sure if it is good.

From:

Wait, what? Sketchy! Does that like, even make any sense? I mean, America's Christian! Isn't she supposed to be like him?! Ohmigod, so not cool!

From:

She said that it was still supposed to be in theory, but nobody follows it anymore.

From:

Totally not okay! We're like, gonna have to give her an intervention!

From:

I tried to talk to her but she said that I was just being backwards. Not those words, but...

[He doesn't like the sound of this ;;]

From:

Well, I'll talk to her, then! You like, can't just go throwing out such important things!

From:

That might be a good idea... tell me if you need my help.

From:

I'm like, sure I can deal with it, Liet! But I will, if I need it.

From:

It's called 'dating' anymore. And it is similar, but it's between the two people, generally the parents aren't involved.

From:

Good. [He gives his friend a short hug. It feels so awkward now to touch, even simple things like keeping each other warm at night, brushing each other's hair or such things.]

That really depends on who you ask. but I imagine there have always been people who haven't shown a high level of appreciation for social conventions.

From:

What kind of simple social rules?

From:

But they will be involved when it comes to the financial safety of the young couple.

From:

Meriken said that most people, or almost everyone, didn't follow them anymore.

From:

Not whoring yourself around, for example.
