estudio sobre supuestas citas/encuentros con fines románticos


Explanation:
Según mi lectura son las citas, o encuentros, los que son fingidos o forzados; no el estudio mismo. Por otra parte, como en español "cita" puede obedecer lo mismo a fines amistosos, de trabajo o románticos, creo que es necesario puntualizar.
Sólo otra sugerencia.
