Courtship... commonplace? (by Sun)

Girls, I guess we'll be dedicating this beginning of month to "being asked out". Not that I choose themes on purpose, but because it seems that the men who are in my girlfriends lives, tend to behave in a similar way in the same period of time.
When I was younger I used to be asked out to dinner all the time. The guy would save the week's allowance, or his internship's little money but always took me to a cute little place to eat. We usually ate little, drank wine, behaved elegantly and then went out partying .. or to a motel (depending on the level of our intimacy)

Nowadays, a dinner invitation has become rare. And the worst thing is that the guy have a job, a career and enough money to take us out. My question is: Why don't they take us out to dinner? And to add a friend of mine's question : "Has it become fashionable to meet up at a club and nobody told me?" Well, this same friend of mine has gotten the following answer: " I don't take you out to dinner because it's so 'commonplace'..."
Girls, if taking a woman out to dinner is unoriginal, I guess the guys suppose that originality is to ask us to get hammered with Mojitos!
Where has romance gone? Courtship? Trying and making a woman feel special? According to them, its commonplace? Or have we become so accessible and easy that a drink is enough of an invitation to get to a girls pants?!
The point is that I do think we have become TOO available. Although in the past, we were kinda easy as well.. but it wasn't written all over our face! The guys used to think they needed to work hard, to sweat, to be a geltleman in order to get our trust and jump into our bed.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! I know what it is, check this out and see if it makes sense:

When we used to go on those dates, usually we didn't eat much but drank a lot, right? So, can you imagine the face of that poor intern who had to pay a huge bill and the girl ate nothing and got hammered? Is this why now they ask us out for only a drink? Hahahahaha.
Let's not be unfair: Some men DO invite us for dinner... at his house. It's always a double sided weapon: you will be "pussy-delivery-girl" anyways, but the wolf at least is trying to be a gentleman : even if he doeasn't need to get out of the house (you are delivering your "thing" for him on a silver plate, anyways) , he makes the effort to woo you (girls, no frozen food and him opening the door in his pajamas..)
Whatever the case, dinner dates are becoming rear in this modern times.. and not because of the economy crises, but a gentlemen crises. Courtship has become a banality and guys are trying to look original by taking you out to have Mojitos and thinking that'll do.

A piece of advice: If he takes you to a bar, order Coca-Cola and make sure to make him see that it will take a lot more than a drink to win you over!
