I think you can say it's more "western" concept than American because the same concept exists in European countries also.

I've never been to an American style date in my life, nor do I do know anyone who does it. At least in France it far out of regular habits. The place for getting to know each other is usually a friends group.

Yeah the details might differ but courting ladies has been in European culture for a long time. I am not saying Europeans date exactly way Americans do. Still there are lot of similarities - like people starting dating in high school, going to clubs/bars to meet or yeah going to some common friend's house.

What is an “American style date”?

I’ve been to a plenty of dates in France, it’s not unusual for two people to go out to dinner and get to know each other.
