| What exactly does Dating mean?
Posted: 5/18/2008 4:26:19 PM | | I honestly think all those terms are meaningless. Every encounter is shaped by whatever transpires between the participants. Since no one can predict the future or how they will eventually feel about every person they encounter, why split hairs? Whatever will happen will happen. Why worry about it? | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 8:07:28 PM | well my fave is someone who writes "talk/email" but then describes what they want to do on a first date?
as for dating? to me that means a person who wants the fun and the good times with no strings attached and they want to date more than one person at a time. I wish they had a choice of dating leading to long-term. I put long term but that doesnt mean I expect to get married on the 3rd date, it means I want one person only in a commited relationship. | |

Cuddles,
You said it exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish there were one that said dating leading to long term. As I stated in my previous, post, some men get spooked by long term,. The dating thing, yes I changed mine. but the majority of men on here well they put long term when in fact its should be "Intimate Encounter"
But, I do scare many away with the fact, I am open and honest. Does not matter what I put on there, I will not have sex with someone unless in an exclusive relationship. just my beliefs and what I am about. Many men get pissed by this fact, so be it.
Am I dating, want to have fun, want to find the one that can possibly lead to a LTR yes?
But, where o where is he???????????????????? | |

However, I have noticed that some guys put "long-term" but in their profile story make it sound like they don't want to be serious or want to "take it slow"(usually means they are still wounded from someone). That is not "long term."
Also, if you got divorced 8 months ago than you should choose "dating. " If the last person you dated was a year ago and it was a relationship that spanned a few yrs. -pick "dating. " Both scenarios are serious relationships and you had your heart and time invested in them. You got hurt whether you ended it or the other person did. The relationship after a long relationship or a divorce is a re-bound -let's face it.
But, I did meet someone a few yrs. ago and it culminated in a 6 yr. relationship. Did he love me? He said "Yes." Used the term "ours', signed Xmas cards from us, interacted with his children and he with mine quite often and grew to love them also. That is another pain endured when a relationship ends- your children's feelings.
However, when I asked about marriage- he said he would never get married! Was married very young, got divorced and felt like a failure in that relationship. It was a big deal to him so his heart was closed. Well, guys , don't pick long -term unless you think you really mean "long term." If you have your heart closed because you got hurt- we all have. I am not your ex-wife or ex-girlfriend.That to me means you have personal issues and baggage. Just because the relationship ended and you have decided to date or whatever doesn't mean you are OK. It may mean you are lonely or trying to replace the other person. In general I see men (jump back in) do it more often than women. OK-I'm done! Have a good day.... | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 8:46:04 AM | I think the term "dating" on THIS site is defined by the other terms that go with it:
There is: Talk/Email, Friends, Dating, and Long Term. Seeing as how there is a choice for Friends, and a choice for Long Term, I would consider Dating to be somewhere in between. It's not quite Long Term, but could be, and it's a little more than Friends, hopefully.
The problem with "Dating" is that people stop communicating. One person ends up wanting more than Dating, and one person ends up wanting less, but they never talk about it, and someone always gets hurt. | |
