What you are proposing is a type of  forbidden "love story" between Dinah and Shechem.  Regardless of your play on words, it is obvious from the aftermath that it was a "Rape".  One of the things that I have learned in studying the bible is that God is very straight forward and certainly in this case.  There are plenty of "love stories" in the bible, and this is not one.
