"Traditional dating is gone"
There is no traditional dating. It's by definition progressive, before dating it was courtship under the father's supervision

“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free"
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
“But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free"
"Then he will be his servant for life."

Does not seem to mention dating in traditional marriage texts

7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself,[b] he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter.
