Your definition is demonstrably unusual. Remember, something is true "by definition" if it's not true for any other reason.

According to Google, the definition of sexism is "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex."

So if you don't consider dating somebody because of their sex, by that definition you are sexist?

Only if not dating someone is discrimination in some useful sense (it's not).
