'Seeing someone' is specific.
Dating could mean anything.

Nothing really.
But it depends on the context of the conversation and the people involved.

It might be different for people that date a lot of people at the same time though.

Then you're "dating" a bunch of people.
But once you make a choice you are then "seeing" that one person.
"Seeing" meant to communicate that it's a more serious form of "dating," but less than any kind of meaningful or committed relationship. More than dating, less than girlfriend/boyfriend.

It's only confusing because no one is actually in charge of forcing people to mean the same thing when they say the same thing.

Most people at least try to make a distinction between being with one person exclusively, and doing things with various people at different times. They also usually try to distinguish between spending time with other people for otherwise idle entertainment, and spending time with other people for the purpose of choosing a long-term mate.

Some people will swear under oath, with a straight face, and knowing they will go to jail for lying or even joking, that there's a difference between going on a date with someone, and dating them.

The same people MIGHT claim that although they are dating three or four people, that they are really only seeing one of them.

Anyway, bottom line, you have to ask each person what they mean.

But it's even worse than that.

You also need to record them answering when you ask, because if you ask the same person the same question later the same day, they very well may answer differently because of what time it is, or the context you are asking them in.

when you meet someone for a date? that is dating.
You are also seeing them but it may not be exclusive.

Dating game is not that easy nowadays... If you want to get this one "SPECIAL" and "ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD" women (I tend to think like that everytime. Damn!) you need to change the strategy. I have found it there: http://bestdatingproductreviews.com/the-tao-of-badass-review. As you probably have seen many times, older people are always being nice and saying compliments to every women. I think it's because there was a time like 30 years ago or so when they actually had success with it. Times are changing and women thinking too. I get friendzoned dozen of times because I was behaving like these people I mentioned above. This review helped me out and I have actually reduced the number of being friendzoned.
