I think dates are... well... dated. Maybe they still do them in the US Heartland, but on the coasts people just hook up.

I think it's more that the word is dated. People still spend time together getting coffee to get to know each other. It's just not called a "date" because that sounds so 1950s.

Dating is for people who have trouble hooking up without making their intentions explicit.

YMMV. "You're hot, but I'm really quite keen on knowing if I can bear to be around you for a few hours" can be a good thing to establish.

I'm in San Francisco, and people date here.
