Back in the early 90s, there was a talk that appeared in the Ensign (pronounced En-SIGN, not En-SUN) called "Reluctant to Marry." It was aimed at college age YSAs. My bishop gave me a copy as I was wrapping up my undergrad and entering law school. He encouraged me to read it.

Not sure much has changed and that anything unique is going on at BYU that hasnt always been going on. There has always been a push to get married at BYU. AA brought up a concern that pressures to marry have affected the social nature of casual dating. Well, that sounds about the same as when I was there over a decade ago.

Men have hormones. They would rather make out or have sex than play video games. Those that complain that they never get asked out may have a legitimate beef, but isnt it also possible that they arent as good looking as they think they are? Also, nothing prohibits women from asking men to go grab some food or go to an activity.

Sending a text instead of a phone call is less personal, but that is simply a shift in how we communicate, in general. It isnt indicative of a decline in the desire to date.
