Whatever happened to courtship?

It used to be that when a guy and girl were interested in eachother then they would make plans to see eachother on the weekends. The rest of the week would be spent daydreaming about eachother and psyching yourself up for the weekend. And this would go on for at least a couple months before, perhaps, they started to see eachother during the week and sleeping over occasionally.

But now days it's like couples want to hit the ground running. It all STARTS with sex and then it's like you gotta see eachother every day after that. You sleep together, you eat together, you go out together, you come home together. If it's not together then it's not a relationship.

She stays at your house 5 nights a week. After a month you've met the family, the friends and you share the same bathroom. After 3 months you've practically moved in together and the arguments begin to pop up. After 6 months you know everything about eachother and you've made love every way possible. After a year there is talks of engagement and by the second year you're married.

Does this not sound like it's 2x faster than it should be?
