A date, as said by Elder Dallin H. Oaks, is something that is planned, paid for, and paired off. This can not be accomplished if there is a spontaneous hang out. By having these three factors it ties into the proclamation and allows young men to get ready for marriage.
The proclamation says, "By divine design, father are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families." Preparation is related to preside, paid for is related to provide, and paired off is related to protection.
