A lost Art.

Do you remember when people still used to go on dates?. Like proper dates where the guy actually made an effort to make the day amazing for the girl, and he'd pick her up from her house and be all nervous because he'd want the date to go just like he planned? ..yh I know..seems like a world away doesn't it?
What happened to those times, i mean I've had a conversation go like this one time:
                            GUY: ok you know what? lets go on a date
                             ME: (obviously in shock) what? are serious?
                            GUY: yh sure, there nothing wrong with being cheesy sometimes
                             ME: *hangs up the phone*

Now this conversation went south for two reasons, (1) cause i knew he was only trying to get me in his bed (but that's not the point), (2) cause he felt going on a date was "cheesy" and wrong. 
It seems with our generation everything is now fast tracked so people skip the whole "meeting and getting to know you" process and replace it with a few bb's and text messages or in some particular sad cases DM's and voilĂ ! you have yourself the 21st century equivalent of the dating process. When you think about it its kind of sad isn't it.

Don't get me wrong though I'm not saying you should pull out all the stops and fly this girl/guy to Paris and have diner on the Eiffel just cause you like them..(although that wouldn't be so bad,,lol) all I'm saying is it'd be nice to put a little effort sometimes when you're trying to get that guy/girl.
