Exclusively Not Dating

The period of a relationship between "just friends" and "dating". In this phase both people haven't made the commitment for an official relationship, but each would be upset if the other got involved with someone else.

He took his relationship status off of Facebook. He must be exclusively not dating.

drunk dating

A reoccuring but unspoken relationship, generally a hook-up, that only occurs after both parties are well past tipsy.

I've been hooking up with this guy the past few weekends, but he doesn't seem to acknowledge it when he's sober. I guess we're drunk dating.

dating-not-dating

When two people love each other very very much but aren't officially dating because of other responsibilities or a fear of commitment or some other lame excuse.

Those two are perfect for each other!
Yeah haven't you heard? They're dating-not-dating.

pre-dating

The awkward stage of a relationship where the two individuals are spending a lot of time together but have not actually admitted that they are dating.

It is not necessarily a desirable state to be in.

Can also be used to describe two friends of the opposite sex who spend all their time together but who are not actually dating but may as well be. Should not be confused with friends with benefits.

Sandra: So are you and John together?
Jane: No, we're pre-dating at best.
Sandra: Oh...bummer.

Dara: What's up with Laura and Ed?
Anita: Oh, they're pre-dating.

the difference between going on dates and dating

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.

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..."
