Posted: 8/26/2006 10:44:12 AM | | my definition of dating is ,a chance to spend time with someone who you want to get to know and have him get to know you ,your likes ,dislikes,what you would like ,or need from each other,and if you have that specile spark between you,sharing,wanting at times just to set and hold hands or each other,i did not mean to leave out vise versa,to get to know his likes and dislikes to i think its importen to be able to comunicat with each other to learn about each other,and i am finding that there is a lack of single men on here that are willing to be trouthful about there statis and situations, where is the guys that are just looking for a logterm,and lasting relation ship, us ladys are lonly yes,but not desprit,we are looking for a one women man, is there any left out there,i wonder,we sure would like to know, | |

Posted: 12/4/2006 1:38:31 PM | | Ya see, humans have to complicate everything! If you're going out with someone, meaning more than a few days, ok a week, shouldnt you show respect and not see other people? Its simple, and to be loyal right off the bat won't kill anyone. I thought thats how it always worked anyway.... | |

Posted: 1/15/2007 1:17:45 PM | | Whate ever the difference may be and anything inbetween, most men seem to think everything includes sex regardless of what they say they want. If it's just friends they want that must include sex with that friend and any other female friend he was, hanging out also seems to include sex, dating is seeing several other women and having sex with all of them as well, being in a relationship and still dating other women because he's not married and therefor okay to have sex with other women. What I would like to know is where do they get this so-called logical in their minds only way of thinking? Jerry Springer reruns perhaps? But don't call him a slut or whore or say he's immature, he'll only deny it and accuse you of being a prude for not going along with how he thinks. Guess I'll remain single for the rest of my life. | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 10:49:19 AM | Good Topic, this is my first post. I have recently thought about this topic as I am going through this right now. For me, it's the opposite, I feel that is both people fee la connection and go further than the first or second date. Why would I want to get to know more people (at the time).
Heres my delema... how do you or when is a good time to bring up to the one you are dating if they are exclusive as well without them feeling like you are pressurung them?
Of course my main goal would be to be so interesting and enjoyable that he would only want me, but not sure how or when or even if to discuss that,.
any opinions? | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 2:48:44 PM | I think it all depends on the context. You can go out on a date with someone, but not be dating them.
You can be single and not looking (aka not dating at all), or you can be single and out dating people as in going out on dates to explore new potentials.
Or you can be dating someone, as in a relationship with that person. | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 3:39:12 PM | | Dating to me is going out with someone to have a good time, get to know that person and you are not exclusively seeing them unless something is communicated between the two of you. | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 10:45:23 PM | | i agree with you to a certain extent, i agree to the fact dating is finding out about a peron and dating other ppl unless you are sending a person the wrong messege in other words dating other ppl and making promises you don't intend to keep | |

I don't know what type of men you're asking...but here in NYC nobody talks about exclusitivity unless the mother is inviting them over for family dinner and calls you over to fix a leaky faucet. lol
To me, dating is just a "hang out" and getting to know one another more. Maybe eventually leading on to more frequent dates, (casually dating) but not yet exclusive. If it lasts more than a few months, maybe he could be a potential bf...but even so, that could be a disaster waiting to happen. hehe, jk  | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 10:15:29 AM | There seems to be a fine and blurry line when it comes to Dating and Long Term (or relationship under other lingo)
I think leaving it hazy or without rules allows for those who are hurt from past relationships, commitment gun shy or those seeking NSA to define their interactions on a one on one basis.
Any type of relationship is confusing, since you may go on a DATE with one guy you chatted with and liked but you had agreed also to another as you had met neither prior. The only way to know who you TRULY want to DATE towards the process of becoming a relationship is to get to know them both. BUT HOW to do so without misleading or putting boundaries so high that you can not establish chemistry is a perilous dance.
At the same time , going on a DATE then shutting all doors till you figure out if this is the right person has its downfall since it may mean months of getting to know each other till something is unearthed that shows incompatibility. Then you are both back into the pool but your other prospects that may have been more suitable has moved on. Hence why this site is so rightfully named after fishing. Dating is a GAME used to protect yourself till you find the right person and can stop the line and hook and be yourselves together.
SO dictionary version :
Date
a. An engagement to go out socially with another person, often out of romantic interest.
b. One's companion on such an outing.
Dating
4. To go on a date or dates with.
Post I agree with : http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/718470
In practice, dating is the process of going out for (first) dates with someone, the time when you get to know each other. that's the time when you're allowed to ask other girls for dates too, since there's no commitment other than to show up on time for the dates.
Being in a relationship, on the other hand, is the time when you exclusively see that one significant other; that's the time when you'd better not be seeing other girls in terms of dating or a relationship.
I think we should all try to be as straight as possible with those who allow us the privilege to get to know them. And to be as honest as we can concerning our own needs, as it was stated in the thread you should not date for status or gain. Being honest does not mean you are stuck on that status for life, and if all you are seeking is physical relief at this moment then set yourself up as Intimate so you get people who are on the same page responding. Nothing states you can't go to dinner before hand.
This does not mean you can choose later on to date or have a relationship, you are in control of you.
But don't try to worm your way into someone under another status hoping their mind will change. They chose that setting because it was what was most comfortable to them. If they want more or something else they will state such request.
POF is simply a meeting place and a tool to meet more people or different people to go on dates...so be kind and have fun | |
