Do we need to throw it a funeral?

Has courting a woman died in society? Do we need to arrange a funeral for it and stand by its graveside and say what will miss about it? Seriously with today's technology of life it seems that the old fashioned way of courting a woman is Dead! Hand out the hankies there is going to be a lot of crying going on.

When did it become standard for a man to IM or text a woman and say would you like to go out to dinner and then not make the arrangements? When did meeting for coffee or drinks become a standard 1st date? When did a woman's apprehension towards a man because of fear of pain, mean a woman wants a man to beg her? When did being smitten with a woman become something of my grandmother's time?

Who's playing the taps? Put the flags at half mast, pull out the black dresses, and drop the casket 6 feet down. For courting has died and today is the funeral!
