Such a good economic application addressing campus love issues!

I thought 2 more questions last night: 

Question (1)how about the elasticity of demand & supply? Generally, long-run demand or supply suffers less impacts of some short-term factors, such as once or twice bad performance before the girls or boys you like.After all, in some cases, if a male/female doesn't think you are his/her perfect match for the first glance, I guess the probability of your success wouldn't change very dramatically in the short run(say several months), regardless of how many dinners you have paid for him/her.But as she/he understands you more & long enough(several years?), your figure may change in her/his mind gradually.In another word, you give her/him a period of time to balance between yr weakness & advantages comprehensively and then make the decision,which can't be modified by your coincident good performance but some fix character & personality.So basically, the No.1 factor for campus love should be the one can bear the test of time.

Question (2): Whether it makes sense to quantify the relationship between dependent variable (e.g. success or failure in chasing a girl) & independent variable (physical attractiveness, talent, capacity...) We can detect who tends to attract more appreciation from the opposite sex.

For instance, if a girl gives more weight on the "good looking" , then the boys handsome in her eyes will receive more scores;if another girl emphasizes more on the "talent","potential of future earning power" etc.,then such guys will benefit. After all, from intuition, we have known some factors' importance.But can we find some empirial evidence to support our intuition. From example, is there some boundery for the effects of "physical attractiveness"? Say some beautiful girls/boys also remain single for a long time, how to explain?maybe due to the distance formed for some reason bet.them with the "normal-looking"classmates.
