Okay so what if you're from one of the many countries where asking people out on dates isn't really a thing?

I assume the population in those countries is going down then because I don't understand how else you're supposed to do it?

You just hit them over the head with a rock

I won't pretend to be an expert on the matter since I'm very much alone, but in my experience it's something that happens more organically, through common interests and such. It's more of a process, less of a transaction.

Arranged marriages would be my guess, although I can't think of a country where that's the overwhelming norm.

I'm interested to know what countries would those be and how does people meet usually.
