An absolute waste of time. The early stages of a inevitiblly-doomed relationship where two insecure people waste their time by puting on a fake act for the intent of impressing someone you don't like very much or not compatible with. It often ends in an ugly manner when you meet someone else you like better.

I don't do it because I don't like the headache it causes. I just want to meet a girl and court her until we are married. Dating is an absolute waste of time for me.
Dating is a 20th Century phenomenom and an absolute waste of time.

Dangling your highly elaborately decorated, and sometimes scented, rod into the sea, in the hope of catching a date (of the dried prune variety or otherwise)
I've just upgraded my rod to a bigger one. DO you think it will help me to get more dates?

When two people see each other regularly and have been inside each other.
Her friend to her: "So are you guys dating now or what?"
Her: "Well, we've seen each other a couple of times and he stuck his finger in my mouth, so I guess we are."

A pointless waste of time... defined by massive usage of cologne and/or perfume, awkward sweaty hand-holding, and feelings of puppy love that usually dissolve in a few weeks (or less)
"we're dating, and, like, he, like, is picking me up in 10 minutes!"
"wow, you, like, smell, really, like, strong!"

The word has traditionally referred to things that have become unfashionable or outmoded. Later it came to refer to things that were socially unacceptable to the viewing audience perhaps because of the viewers social standards. Within certain geographic areas of vermont and new hampshire it has taken on a new meaning - basically referring to things that generally suck ass.
Common usage includes sayings such as "My ex is so dated."
