Is romanticism decaying?

We as human beings have the necessity to mate with other people

during our lifetime, because of social and biological needs. However, the
way we get together has changed in the last 30 years. Why?
First of all, it is convenient to explain how our ancestors habits were
like in the past. The meeting was usually held in local festivities or in events
like balls. In those contexts, it was the man who used to take the first step.
His courtesy and appropriate manners could attract the attention of the
woman he desired.
Nowadays, the situation has been modified dramatically. Most of us
have plenty of opportunities to meet people. It is undeniable that
technological advances provide us with infinite number of opportunities to
meet new potential lovers. The drawback of this wealth is that we do not
usually show the courtesy mentioned before and, therefore, it seems as if
the relationships are more informal.
Another relevant difference concerns to sex. 30 years ago, sexual
activity used to be postponed until the marriage. In the last years, however,
sex has become the order of the day and it is not even necessary to have
those sexual intercourses with your formal partner.
In conclusion, not only has the way we interact with the opposite sex
changed, but also it is my firm belief that the romanticism has decayed,
since we no longer show the formalism and courtesy that our ancestors
would express.
