As regards dating, QI offers us this, explaining the story of the first recorded date:
The first date in literature appears in the 5,000-year-old Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. In order to tame Enkidu, a Tarzan-like wild man who is terrorising his people, the king Gilgamesh sends Shamhat, a beautiful prostitute. There was no question of first date nerves. They meet at a waterhole where "Shamhat loosened her undergarments, and he took in her attractions". He goes on to drink seven jars of beer, eats bread for the first time and the couple spend a week in bed. As a result, Enkidu decides to shave, clean himself up and get dressed in clothes for the first time. Rejected by his former animal friends, he accompanies Shamhat to the city, "having acquired wisdom"
