| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/12/2006 3:14:39 PM | Im thinkng that there is a difference between what men and women think it means....I was hoping it means that we get to know each other and in the meantime we also get to know other people....And if we mutally find that it is what we want to pursue than we become exclusive...Seems like most men I talk with want exclusive right off the bat.....
Thanks for the input..... | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/13/2006 3:37:47 AM | Dating for me means: Going out with someone I have an interest in being with and knowing, And while I am learning about her I ONLY go OUT with HER, no one else, until that time comes around when there is no more interest in going any farther because we are not all that great or compatible together, as agreed by both parties.. Then ya date someone totally different and see if that works out!  | |

I was hoping it means that we get to know each other and in the meantime we also get to know other people....And if we mutally find that it is what we want to pursue than we become exclusive... Sounds like a good definition to me.
Seems like most men I talk with want exclusive right off the bat..... Most guys want to feel like they have your undivided attention. Likely you'll have more guys interested in you than they will have gals interested in them, so any man wants to be sure you are serious about considering him - and not just interested in a free dinner/movie. | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/15/2006 12:44:19 AM | I was thinking of changing from "dating" to "long term" for the above statement, and also becuase i have made a few nice people unhappy (not intentionally) on the otherhand without sounding shallow I would expect the guys im intrested in to move on.
On a different subject what does "Hang Out" mean. | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/15/2006 9:53:49 AM | I don't think (dinosaur that I am) that dating's changed all that much from when people my age were "dating age". A date is a chance for 2 people to meet either 1 on 1 or as aprt of a group, with the idea of getting to know each other. So I agree with your definition of dating.
I've found that many women want to get serious way sooner than most men, maybe it goes back to men thinking they want to play the field and women wanting someone who'll stay in their own yard.
miplsur - any time you want to come to Buffalo/Niagara Falls for a casual "date" just let me know.

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/15/2006 4:24:21 PM | as with anything, each person will have a unique spin, but this sounds realistic. I've been out or the dating pool for a long time, so I'm doing a lot of re-learning.
I will say that women may want to get serious way sooner, because if they are dating more than one man, people start casting aspersions on her character. The skanky slut. | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/16/2006 10:48:26 AM | I think there may be some confussion here, I think dating is an action, to date another person, meet that person at a designated location for dinner , or coffee , or drinks , or some activity,, what you seem to be discribing is a committed on non committed relationship, in which the partie s involved must make that choice | |
|
| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 7/16/2006 10:53:29 AM | hanging out , I think it means we just happen to be at the same place at the same time, we have no interest in eachother , but we may have a converstion, on subjucts that interest us both | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 8/13/2006 1:07:56 PM | | friendship is important in a relationship. The people i know who have the best and most lasting relaionships are good friends as well. I have had relaionships in the past all that lovely dovey stuff and after a few months, i have found i don,t like the person much.so now friendship is important to me. | |
|
| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 8/14/2006 4:07:14 PM | miplsur - i agree with your definition. dating means i am dating. if the guy does not have the "let's be exclusive" chat with me, i assume he's on the same page. but, maybe i'm wrong. since very few of the men i've met here have gotten more than one date, there really has not been any opportunity for a conflict of definitions to arise.
now, will someone explain "serial dating" to me? (frankly, the term seems like an oxymoron to me.) | |
|
| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 8/15/2006 4:37:02 PM | THE DATE... the first one. I believe is intended to get to know your friend at a deeper level. I have a series of questions I ask that will determain along with the persons etiquette on whether or not they get a second date. It's pretty rare that a second date is made...
Why do men feel that buying a girl dinner automatically gets him head ?
Dating, is doing things together to furthering your knowlege of the person. I truely believe that if you can not see yourself long term with them by the 3rd date, then you should stop seeing them. One, it keeps you from growing attached cutting the chance of hurt and 2, keeps you from wasting a lot of time.
Sums my version of dating up. | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 8/15/2006 7:05:40 PM | | WELL FRIENDSHIP IS A MUST AND DATING A GOOD PLACE TO BUILD FRIENDSHIP IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BUILD FRIENDSHIP FIRST THEN GET DEEPER YOU REALLY GET TO KNOW A PERSON THIS WAY WHEN YOU KNOW PERSON WELL AND CLICK AND ARE INTO EACH OTHER RELATIONSHIP IS BETTER STRONGER | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 8/16/2006 2:14:31 AM | | Friendship is important in a relationship, i have come to relise that, when i was younger i used to have these lovely dovey relationships, and then find out i did not even like the person, so now i have learnt how valuable friendship is, if you don,t like the other person you can hardly have a relationship with them. | |

| OK....What is everyones definition of dating? Posted: 8/19/2006 12:06:35 AM | | I am 'dating' right now. This is all new to me...hehehe. My definition of dating is meeting a bunch of different people to see who I click with. I don't like to date really. I like being with one person. If I see someone more than once, that means I really like them and I wouldn't see anyone else while we're buildig a friendship/relationship. Does that make any kind of sense? | |
