No it's not. Why was being discussed is meeting the person. There is
a need to convice the other person you are worth the time to actually 
to get to be known. It's like getting a job, the resume only gets you the 
interview. You could also get the interview otherways. Being in a mutually 
enjoyable social activity will reduce the "cost" of the other person getting 
to know you.
