I think so. I can't speak for everyone but for me; if I'm interested in a guy, there's always a little period of "shyness" or reservation that goes into play before I actually feel comfortable enough to really seek other information. Honestly, I'd be embarassed to say to a guy that I just met "my reasons and objectives for dating are such and such" as soon as the waitress walks away with the menus on our first date. Ya know? I'd at least wait to see which direction the vibes between us go in order to know how to approach the subject. I think there's a period (a rather short period) where you have to feel a person out and actually spend time around them before a real conversation even takes place.
Now you KNOW I ain't talking about it going down like that....
Plus, INFORMATION can be exchanged in SEVERAL WAYS: talk on the telephone, text message (if you got unlimited texting), emails, etc. Hopefully there's some other communication going beyond face-to-face interactions....
