Virgin America offered a service like this when I flew with them a decade ago.

If you saw someone you liked, you could make a note of their seat number and buy them a drink from your seatback display.

If they accepted the drink, you could start texting with them.

I never got lucky, but it was a fun concept!

That's pretty uncomfortable, also since 99% of that will be men offering it to women.
Yes, it would be truly terrible if men and women interacted with each other.
What an awful idea.
