emotionally dating 

A strange place in which a friendship has developed into something more than a friendship yet nothing physical has actually happened. Discussion about this new level of relationship between the couple involved may or may not take place. It is also likely that mutual friends will notice a new intensity in their friendship. It is especially common amongst lesbians where the line between friendship and dating can become blurred.

“We were on the phone for 5 hours last night…”
“You are totally emotionally dating her!”

dating activities 

Activities, both general and specific, that guys normally wouldn't engage in with a group of their guy friends and often times even female friends with whom they have no romantic interest in. Outside the context of dating a girl, participation in dating activities often lowers a man's masculine status among his peers. Thus they are to be avoided when not dating. Dating activities are acceptable when a guy is dating because he really has no interest in the actual activity, but his interest is in the girl and he's just participating to spend some time with her.

Sample of Dating Activities:
Chick flicks (aka dating movies when datiing)
The Notebook (movie)
Dancing (when there's no girl involved unless you are a professional dancer or performer), especially so called formals.
Shopping as a hobby or recreational activity
Dining at EXPENSIVE restaurants especially ones where the food isn't that great, but you're really just paying for the atmosphere and environment.

Compensated Dating 

Translated from the Japanese word, 「援助交際 」or "Enjo-kōsai." Compensated Dating is a term used to describe young women going on dates with older men in exchange for money or gifts. These dates often end in sexual activities. It is a form of prostitution, however most women who participate in Enjo-kōsai do not view themselves as prostitutes.

Although this term originated in Japan, compensated dating has spread to other East Asian countries and has even stretched to the USA under the phrases sugar daddy and sugar baby.

See enjo kosai.

Friend A: You're doing compensated dating? Isn't that really horrible and shady?!

Friend B: What does it matter? These older men are giving me a shit ton of money.
