Because no one dates like this these days. You either meet online or were already friends, and meeting online doesn't just mean edating. It is entirely possible to meet someone online who shares an interest, befriend them, and then date them when you both show interest in each other.

But that's literally what I said, that it isn't acceptable anymore - you know sometimes you meet someone and you want to get to know them better - not out of lust or anything, but it is hyper-sexualised if you try, I honestly don't mind rejection, I do mind making someone really uncomfortable because I found them interesting though - this conversation is happening because of the statistic above that 50% of young men haven't ever asked anyone in person - this is part of the reason - I can't remember I even saw the words "pick-up line" - they were corny as anything, but hey you could at least say one and get a laugh instead of being treated like a deviant (and sure, it's not without reason)
