Yeah, personally I think the subject is notable. There has been tons of academic research and popular history written about the history of dating, college dating, the invention of the 'teenager,' etc. Even just within the United States.
I think I did a radio series on this once -- IIRC, Beth Bailey was a really great source. She wrote this fascinating book: http://www.amazon.com/Front-Porch-Back-Seat-Twentieth-Century/dp/0801839351. Susan J. Douglas was good too, as well as Stephanie Coontz and Barbara Ehrenreich. They are all American, though. Lots has been written about the UK too, but I'm not sure about other cultures/countries.
