Is dating dead?

 Now that I am practically single if not legally yet I have been thinking about the whole dating game. If your go into any chat room then you would think dating is dead. So many people have gotten burned it's more disaster stories than happy endings.
    When you have gotten burned you don't really want to put that effort into at least that is what I hear from guys on the net. They want the sex but they don't want to deal with anything emotional. I saw one lady in a chat room talking about I guy sent her a message saying he was looking to date someone, but he would not go out on a date with her unless sex was guaranteed. How do you guarantee sex and you haven't met the person yet. He demanded that there would be sex. I am thinking to myself what happen to a dinner and movie and maybe a kiss on the first date. It seems to me that a lot of people are just physical and nothing else goes on.  I am grown woman and I am not knocking sex but I think sex is better if you at least trying to form some kind of emotional bond if one doesn't then eventually one will get bored and then move on. Do people really want to sleep with tons of people. It's not even younger people the ages varies.  There are older men than my father just out looking for something physical.   There are married men who are not satisfied at home and they are out  looking for extra. A lot of people not all people feel a need to work at a relationship but still they want the rewards.
    I am guessing  that I am going to be a cat lady. I am not going to settle for just anybody. I been there and done that and know not to do that again. I am want the whole thing not just a part. If I have to wait or it never happens that's all right. I can do bad by myself and I can make it alone. It maybe be and like 20 cats but you get the point.
