Traditional Dating is Stupid

Now that I've been off of dating for a while, I realized that...

Traditional Dating is Stupid.

Traditional Dating: 
1) Man is interested in woman.
2) Man calls woman and asks her at least 3 days in advance to take her to a fancy dinner on a Friday or Saturday night.
3) Woman accepts.
4) Woman spends the next 4 days on the phone with her friends picking out the perfect outfit, getting her whole body waxed, buying all new makeup, buying a new pair of shoes, getting a mani/pedi and planning their wedding.
5) Man calls her the day before confirming the day/time of the date and her address.
6) Man shows up exactly on time.
7) Man walks up to her door, rings the doorbell, gives her flowers, a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
8) Man tells woman she looks beautiful and is looking forward to tonight.
9) Man opens car door.  Man closes car door.
10) Arrive at restaurant.  Man opens her car door (and every other door between the car and their table at the restaurant where he made reservations days before).
11) Enjoy stilted / appropriate conversation (only telling each other the highlights and best things about themselves).  Smiling a lot.  Not drinking too much.  Ordering 'appropriate' food in 'appropriate' quantities.  Woman orders a steak to impress the man.
12) Man pays for meal, no questions asked.
13) Man drives woman home.  Opens her car doors. Walks her to her door.  Tells her she is beautiful, that he had a great time and would love to see her again.  They kiss.

WHAT?!?!??!?!??!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?  Why does dinner mean you have a makeout session?!?!  

Where is that agreement made?  During the shrimp cocktail appetizer?  

How does a two hour meal and two 15 minute drives to and from home lead to physical intimacy?  You have known this person for 2.5 hours!

I've determined that I'm over Traditional Dating.  Traditional Dating is purely a night time activity (and we all know that weird shit only happens at night - horror stories, gambling and sex only happen at night).

Traditional Dating: Dinner and hooking up.  How does 'dinner and sex' once a week provide an opportunity to develop trust and emotional intimacy?

I'm movin' on.  I want day dates.  Dates during the day time.  Way less expectation for sex or even making out.  An actual opportunity to get to know each other.

There is one guy I dated for almost 2 months who I never saw during the day.  To this day, I still have not seen him during daylight hours.  He might be a vampire.  I wonder if his skin sparkles...

Dating him was just dinner and hooking up (we didn't even get past heavy petting, because it takes forever to get in my pants, and a few long dinners aren't going to get there).

I used to LOVE Traditional Dating and would demand it.

I thought it was so romantic, sexy and old school.

The longer I'm away from it, the more I realize it is old school.  It's fake.  The hair, the clothes, the makeup, the high heels, the suits, the fancy dinners, the 'appropriate' conversation, the isolation.  It's all lies.

I'm now convinced that... Traditional dating is stupid.
