 | | Dating used to be a slow progression to finding someone to marry, and marriage itself was considered a passage to adulthood, Whitehead says. |
 | | A generation ago, dating took place in the context of a community, says Carl Hindy, a psychologist in Nashua, N.H. "You had family around who knew both of you." Now singles, who have concentrated on furthering educations and advancing careers, live in a more anonymous and mobile society, he says. |
 | | Now campuses are witnessing "the demise of dating," says Howard Markman of the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver. |
