Dating is about sex, is jungle behavior, and is inherently predatory.

Outside of a village, in the jungle, only wo kind of relationship is possible: predation.

Dating is always predatory and, by definition, is not courtship so is not a part of any "way of life" defining a village coalition. In other words, dating is jungle behavior, predation in the urban jungle that we all live in today.

For males, dating is always about banging pussy, any pussy, to satisfy an urgent, overwhelming, and even painful need. When a male copulates with a female, a "switch" flips on in his brain, and he becomes emotionally bonded to her and filled with a desire to provide for her, to protect her, to love her. Males want to find somewo to love, and to be loved, but those desires are in the background until after copulation has occurred, after, that is to say, he has been captured by a female.

When a female agrees to copulate with a male, it is always about capturing a male, any male. There are other desires in play, including a hormone driven and somewhat urgent need "for a good fuck", but those desires are secondary to the urgent, compelling need to capture a provider and protector.

In today's urban jungle, "dating" is what males and females do to hunt, and prey upon, each other, and this mutually predatory behavior has little chance of succeeding at the game of life.
