I don’t know how the “average number of dating partners before marriage” has changed over time, but I suspect it spiked massively in the internet era. Of course, a lot also depends on the threshold for “getting to know” someone, and whether that’s a first date or the point of exclusivity, or sex.
It takes getting to know more than a few dozen potential mates, at least for some people
