University of Missouri-Columbia's recent survey on dating trends revealed that college students dating each other, and staying over three nights under the same roof 3 times every week are still living separately in their own home to maintain some distance. The researches see dating trend as something between casual dating and a full-fledged committed relationship.
The survey further revealed that the dating couples preferred such convenient relationships because they did not want to live-in with someone or get into a permanent relationship for the fear that things would go wrong. The survey concluded that the new dating trend was gaining ground among the youth as it allowed the dating couples the benefits of an intimate relationship, but still allowed them complete control over their personal and professional life.
