In contrast to regular dating, where people meet for a couple of hours at a time and do fun stuff, power dating is spending large blocks of time together at a point in the relationship (usually early) when dating would normally involve far less.

Get the power datingmug. 1) going on dates is self explanatory. you've hung out alone on purpose. dating is when you're not going on dates with anyone else, and ***THE GUY HAS ASKED THE GIRL TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND.*** (or the girl has asked to be his girlfriend, or they decided amongst themselves that they were officially "dating"/"going out"; etc.)
2) dating is facebook official. ...most of the time.
2) dating is facebook official. ...most of the time.
Examples:
1)
Girl:"So I went on a date with Tom this weekend."
Girl's friend:"So are you dating him now?"
Girl:"No, he only asked me to go to the movies."
Girl's friend:"Do you think he'll ask you to be his girlfriend?"
Girl:"Probably not, he's a boy, so he probably doesn't know the difference between going on dates and dating, and thinks that one date means we're dating. I better set him straight."
2)
SMART BOY:"I went on another date with Lisa last night, it was really great. I think I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend tomorrow."
DUMB BOY:"Wait I thought you guys were dating?"
SMART BOY:"No, we've been on a couple dates, but we're not official."
3)
Boy:"Will you go out with me?
Girl:"On a date? Or dating?"
Boy:"Uhhh..."

Get the Man Datemug. Only making a move when one sees an opening. Sometimes mistook as chivalry, sometimes mistook as being a pansy. Always rewards for flirtatious and engaging behaviour.

David: I'm defensive dating, and you didn't seem all that interested in getting physical.
Sally: Kiss me, you fool.
David: Awesome.

Get the defensive datingmug. alvin dating is when you meet someone via myspace} or facebook and start talking to them everyday. it starts to get serious when you start chatting via aim or any other messenger available. When the person gives you his/her personal mobile number, you have definately upgraded to alvin dating!!!! when the person deletes you from myspace, or facebook, you have been alvin dumped! the term alvin comes from alvin texas, where people there think that after talking to someone on aim,text messaging, or myspace your dating and its serious. also you must meet the person through the internet for it to be considered alvin dating. the only good things to come out of alvin is "the dating scene" and nolan ryan!
