dating violence

When one person in a relationship does everything they can to have power and control over the other person, which includes physical violence, verbal and emotional abuse, stalking, or sexual assault. Dating violence is more than a one time incident... it is a pattern of abuse that usually happens more and more and gets worse and worse over time. It can affect all people: young and old, black and white, gay and straight, rich and poor, and everyone inbetween.
Friend: My boyfriend is so friggin' controlling I can't stand it anymore, but I'm scared to leave him because he said he would kill himself if I ever left him.

Other friend: Dude, that is soooo dating violence. He's doing everything he can to control you!

Friend: Is that why he made me unfriend all my guy friends on Facebook?

Other friend: Yup

Friend: Is that why he told me that if I didn't have sex with him that he would leave me?

Other: Duh!

Facebook Dating

It's a form of online dating that is not orchestrated through an online dating service but is organically created through a facebook friending of a total stranger. Once the friendship is established the "dating" may soon begin with actions that include cruising the Likes Lane, liking pics and wall posts and sending fb messages slightly romantic in nature.
Karen: So, how's it going with that guy you've been facebook dating?

Jane: Great, we've moved to phase two and exchanged phone numbers but we still only text. I'm afraid once I hear his voice the distance will seem even more unbearable...sigh.

humanitarian dating

A form of dating in which a guy goes on a date with a girl whom he is not really interested in, but only does so because he knows it will make the girl happy. Through her happiness, he derives his own happiness, thriving on the goodwill he creates among women in the dating scene.

Humanitarian dating allows otherwise less attractive and/or overweight girls a chance to date a guy that may normally be out of her league, giving her a sense of hope and confidence. Though the guy knows he can find better women, he genuinely feels it's important to help out less fortunate girls around him, and he also recognizes the goodwill he develops may work to his advantage later in life, whatever it may be.

Reversing the roles, a nice-looking girl dating an ugly, fat guy in most cases is NOT humanitarian dating because most of the time the only reason a hot chick will date a fugly guy is if the fugly guy has money.

It's usually not a good idea to talk about humanitarian dating when on a date.
Ned: Hey, Jim... what are you doing dating the beluga whale over there?

Jim: Relax, man. It's just humanitarian dating. I heard from her friend she was interested in me, and I felt kind of bad no one's asked her out before. I got tens lined up for me this weekend and I've been blessed to have my share of the spoils, so I'm just doing some charity work tonight.
