God so much about old fashioned courtship is utterly fucked up. I remember reading a critical analysis of "baby it's cold outside" going through all the things explaining how she can't say she wants to stay because that would be promiscuous so instead she's using all these subtle more socially acceptable things and he's trying to offer her some excuses and it's a whole thing. Holy shit who has time for all that just so you don't essentially get fucking excommunicated?

Honestly, we aren't much different now - the main thing is we've tried to make "no" a safe word
