I dont understand whats the difference till now..

Soooooo.......you gonna tell us the difference?

Lol i am asking you Guys

Dating is two people going out on dates to get to know each other.... They are not in a relationship. They are friends who are attempting to learn more about each other and are still considered SINGLE!

Two people are officially in a relationship when titles are clearly given. Hopefully once they hit this point they know enough about each other to start heading down this new road.


What do you think? Do you agree? Or no?

Dating is Mickey Ds, hot sex and she's gone home before ya wake up.

Relationship is Mickey Ds, no sex and her Mother moves in with yas.

Missie i guess you are right Lol

Assuming you are talking about men and women:

Dating: More than two dates ... no sex yet... that's "dating."

Relationship: No more "dating" you just stay in and watch television, eat microwave dinners and have sex. You may or may not be living together.

What color the towels are.

The way I see it, when we date we engage in activities together that allow us to learn how we interact with one other in different situations while we learn about each other; our likes, dislikes, strength, weaknesses and attitudes about life in general. I think dating is an important part of helping us decide if we are suited for a relationship together and wish to attempt one.

If you are asked to take out the garbage...its a relationship.

So how do you know when things have changed from dating to a relationship?
I've been there before, in a relationship and him adamant we were NOT in a relationship Not a pleasant experience, arguing whether or not you have a relationship. Bl*ddy ridiculous actually.

And when do you stop dating others, when do you become exclusive? And what if either one doesn't feel like being exclusive yet?

Dating is when you are spending time with someone trying to get to know them and trying to figure out if you can accept them.
Being in a relationship is when you know someone and you have decided that life can be comfortable and you can accept everything about them. Its about being with the other person and not wanting to be with anyone else...you are committed to someone.

Everyone in USA date with guys/girls and they will get to know each other and then they start their relationship but they dont stay together for lifetime..why they are going to separate within few years..most of the couples are not going to stay lifetime i know that..before starting their relationships they date with the guy/girl and they will get to know each other and starts their relationship..that means once if they decide that they both are perfect couple..but why they are going to end up their relationships again...

Because life happens, people change and it can happen that people that were once perfect for each other, aren't anymore after x amount of years. You don't know upfront and if you have the liberty to separate, why stay together if you don't make each other happy anymore?

It's all about the intention to stay together. But no one can promise in all seriousness to love someone for the rest of their lives! In most cases we're talking about several decades. You cannot predict how you will feel 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now. You can have the intention, and hope it will work out that way. But you won't get guarantees, nor can you give those to anyone.

In a way expecting (as in compulsory) marriage to last forever is quite narrow minded. It's not a prison, sentenced for life. People should want and be able to choose to stay together, not be forced to do so because of something called marriage.

I don't think 'bloody is censored here.

So, you can bloody well say bloody any bloody time ya bloody well please.

When you are in a "relationship" you have a committment to that One person. When you are dating, you have no committment you can date whomever, whenever you want and how many you want.

Dating is spending time with someone & relationship is giving all you have for such person for a life time :)

Right, cheers. Then I think it's bloody ridiculous

I had a girlfriend that was always telling me that she wasn't my girlfriend and that we weren't in a relationship. Now five years after I broke up with her she finally admits it and I finally won that argument.

You know your dating if you can say what you want and do what you want without caring about how the other person feels about the topic so you both can debate the situation or agree on the situation. This way both of you can learn more about each other.

You know your in a relationship when you know each other well enough to know that if you say or do certain things that your spouse disagrees with you are going to essentially be in the dog house.
