Re: Dating
(Anonymous) 2013-06-24 12:44 am (UTC)(link)When people go on dates, they might just be a non-anonymous one night stand, or a way to test chemistry with someone they want to potentially start a physical relationship with. They generally lack a sense of commitment, and people can have as many "friends with benefits" and "fuck buddies" as the people they're sleeping with will allow.
However, when people go on dates as a kind of courtship, it's still sort of that chemistry and compatibility check, but it's considered a commitment from the start if things go well and continue to build a relationship. At best it'd be considered really rude to sleep around while you're actually dating someone. Most people would break it off.
The first thing I mentioned doesn't come with a boyfriend/girlfriend status. The second thing tends to start off as "I'm seeing someone" and comes with boyfriend/girlfriend once things smooth out and get more serious.
Younger people tend to jump on the boyfriend/girlfriend train right away, but older teens and onward tend not to.
There really is no clear answer, though. It all invariably means something different to different people, and even someone saying they're "dating" someone can mean a number of different things.
Hope that helped a little, though.
