A few weeks back, U.S. News & World Report had an interview with some
psychologist or sociologist type in which she regretted that courtship in
the modern day becomes considerably, if not largely, sexual early, whereas
in past years (e.g. Victorian), courtship was the time when people really
shared their feelings, hopes, dreams, goals, etc.  The quick progression to
sex, according to the interviewee (and my dim memory), mucks up the
relationship since much time together is spent, not communicating those things
which would be important to any future life together, but just in having sex.

Granted, the college dating scene is not restricted to courtship, but the
principle is similar.
