If a guy is in a relationship with a woman....but he is on dating sites 'looking for women to date'... What is THAT called? Oh wait, I think it's called cheating.

Perhaps it is more like 'If I am not being heavily watched or patrolled by my significant other, I am single'

You are either in a trusting "relationship" or you are not. Patrolling? I would not do it or stand for it.

the right person is always in your life at the time.....the hardest thing in my life has been to see my part.....we have to take a look at the disowned parts of our selves......as we look at our part and be come the best version of us, we attract a different type of person as we grow...... bottom line, attraction is not a choice.....most social interaction is surface noise whats real going is below the surface......here is a tool i will share, ok the next time someone pushes your buttons STOP THINK am i like that? do i do that? you will find it hard to do because your in to your feelings.......good luck..............

Dating is spending time with someone & relationship is giving all you have for such person for a life time :) makes sense to me people in relationships go on dates as well I just consider dating the action of spending romantic time together while a relationship(As stated above) is sharing a life together

It is also unfortunately really common these days it seems. If the man is not married to the woman, he is not cheating. Many people on date sites are not already, in a healthy Relationship anyway. Something is wrong in that couples relationship.

In a relationship you've agreed to commit to each other. If you're just dating, there is no commitment, you can go out with whoever you want to.

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? Basically when you both agree on it, you're in a relationship. If he keeps saying you're not in one, then you're not. It has to be mutual.

When two people agree that they only want to be with each other and nobody else, that's a relationship. Dating is going out on dates with whoever you want. When someone wants you to be in exclusive relationship with them and you agree you are now in a relationship.

It is also unfortunately really common these days it seems. I suppose the thinking there is, 'if I'm not married, I'm single.' A lot of people think that way. And many people have open relationships too. Where they don't mind if their partner goes out and goes online as long and they are honest and depending on what guidelines they have set for themselves.

If the couple is not married or engaged to be married, they can not cheat on one another.
