Define "Dating"
6/2/2011 7:29 pm Last Read: |
This has been an ongoing debate between me and my friends. My friends tell me that a "date" is any kind of get-together - it can be among friends (friendly date), among "barkadas" (group date), even for families (family date). Another friend says that as long as you are dining out, that's already a date. If you're just going out and do some activity together, like play bowling or badminton but you don't dine out - then that's not a date, even if it's just the two of you together. Well, as for me, a date is a getting-to-know you activity for two people who are interested in each other as more than friends. Kinda like feeling out a potential partner, looking for similar points of interests before deciding whether to move forward or back-out. In short, "dating" for me always has a romantic connotation. And it has to be specifically declared a "date", for it to be considered one. If it wasn't called a date to begin with, then it's just a simple hanging-out with a friend, even if it's just the two of you. But what is it, really? Is there really such a thing as "friendly date"? And if so, is there a difference between "date" and "gimik" or hanging-out?  If you don't like the answer, ask a different question

Here for some a date includes sex??? Just because they buy you dinner! Sound scary if it's only the getting to know u phase and want that already... Never mind love stay clear away from me...never wanting to fall in love again!!!

for me a date is meeting someone for something on a particular day or night at a designated place to fulfill an agenda both of you set. could be friendly, romantic, personal, or on business matters. it is either to talk or to act on something you agree upon. the presence of food and wine or any drink like coffee is incidental -- it is a part of socializing and to put both parties at ease and in the mood to tackle the issues at hand.  ... only a REAL diamond has flaws.

i think it's a state of mind... it's personal and varies on how it's define by the specific individual... so if you define it as going out having a good time then that's a date... The greatest wisdom is bred as a function of pain. - Todd Harris
