dating

The modern day battlefield of romance where hearts are won and broken, the not-quite so version of chivalry and wooing, an interview for a lover; the lay down some time-and money and see if you get some candy routine; the progressed game of cat-and-mouse; the human courtship ritual; playing baseball for a home run.

Yeah, I've dated her several times. 1st time was flowers, a movie, and a nice dinner. The second time was a fancy dinner and tickets to an event. And on the third date we saw a movie again and, badda-bing-badda-boom, we had sex before the night was through.

Dating Drama

Dating drama is when members of the opposite sex come together to try and find a lifetime partner. Instead of getting to know each other, they spend their entire time trying to impress the other by trying not to appear too needy, and conveying a sense of security about themselves.

Like all drama, it is found by many to be pointless. While making one's self look cool and collected, they end up missing out on happiness when the level of disinterest they show turns off the other person and the date goes downhill from there.

"I went to that new restaurant with Lacy, but she was too much into the Dating Drama for me. If I had've wanted a cold, wet fish I would've reached into the fish tank a few feet away and got one!"

Exclusively not dating

A term used to define the status of a relationship. Neither of the two partners are seeing anyone else, but the title boyfriend/girlfriend puts too much pressure or seriousness to a loosely dating couple. (It is an exclusive relationship and neither are currently looking for another partner--but you would both still be considered "single")

A less tactful term could be “fuck buddies” but sex is not a prerequisite, and emotions are involved.

It's meant to be vague and confusing, because the relationship gets complicated when the lines aren't clearly defined, and the couples status is more than friends, but less than a committed relationship since emotions start to get involved.

Example:
R: So are you two seeing each other, or what?
K: Well sortta, we’re exclusively not dating.

Online Dating

While almost universally panned, Online Dating can actually be a wonderful thing. People need to realize that not everyone online is fake, and that there are some genuine people out there. I know a couple that have been dating online for almost seven months, now. To the people that say internet love doesn't exist, they're WRONG.

Love is love, no matter how far apart you two may live.

End of discussion.

Dumbass: How's the Online Dating going?
Me: Fine, thanks for asking.
Dumbass: You know, he might be a pedophile.
Me: SHE might also not.

Investment Dating

When a guy is over 18 and can't get a girl his age so he goes after someone who is below 18 that is way out of his league but he smuthers her until she turns 18 then he marries her. Normally these guys have very little if any game, and there is at least a 5 year age difference.

Mark started investment dating Angie when she was 14 and he was 21!
