YES..and NO. it depends on the society in which he is involved. Take for example, that prince, he might be under great pressure as he should produce a heir to the kingdom.

Even Michelengelo is rumoured to be one, though never substantiated..he too didnt marry..

Yes. It gives them an opportunity to know the other person. In my opinion, dating should start only after 20 when the boys and girls are more matuerd and responsible.
