American definition:
Widespread social practice through which a guy happily whores himself out for a few hours to a costly female in exchange for hopes of getting laid and eventually a lonely night of sexual frustration.

European definition:
Final stage of courting whose female acceptance necessarily leads to bedroom fun in the immediate aftermaths.
“Hey Mike, how was dating last night? – Well the bitch asked for a ride home so I had to finish myself in the bathroom and spend the rest of the night sleeping on the crutch”

“Hey Giorgio, how was your date last night? – Dude, she wouldn’t even let me finish dessert so I took her home and made her bite the pillow until she passed out”

Dating means that going out with opposite sex to understand them well. Dating leads to marriage,love,friendships.
Let me say, I have a friend whom i am taking her out with an intention of knowing her better before marriage or love, then it is dating. dating will not happen between friends. dating needs a lotof attraction between two

One night while we were hanging out at his house, his parents went out to the casino for a date or whatever, I don’t even know. We went into the living room and built a fort and watched a movie, sure it sounds super dumb but it was fun. We had snacks like little chocolate things. After that though I was low key tired but I was having fun, we went to his room and he laid on his bed so I laid with him. My head was laying on his chest so I could hear his heartbeat, my hand was in his hair and the other was on his chest, I was on the right side of him but he was on his back and I was on my stomach so it’s kinda hard to explain, my right leg was resting on his and the other was on the bed. We just laid there and talked for a while until my eyes got so heavy I could barely keep them open. He positioned me to where I was able to sleep fine. He kissed my forehead and said “I love you baby” I got myself to say “I love you too”. He just laid there and rubbed my back with one hand and hand the other playing with my hair. I accidentally smiled without realizing it and all he said was “Awe, are you sleepy?” which obviously made me smile even more and I was too tired to talk so all I did was wiggle my body closer to his and tried to hug him with all the energy I had. He told me “Goodnight babe” and all I could get out was a small mumble but he knew what I was trying to say. He said “get some rest love, I’ll be here in the morning."

What I don't do or ever will because women can't stand my presence. A complete waste of time for someone actually wanting to get in a serious relationship with someone. Nothing but an act between two fake people trying to put their best foot forward and impress each other so they can potentially jump each other's bones. In Western culture dating is a precursor to marriage but, ironically, will do no more for you in getting to know a person than watching a sport on tv will make you a professional ballplayer. It's also an incredible waste of time because getting together for a romantic rondezvous or outing will do next to nothing in making you connect emotionally or spiritually.

Dating is a new phenomenon and didn't come around until the mid to late 20th century. Before the era of dating, a couple would often "court" each other or marriages were even prearranged. If one is religious, especially with someone who practices Christianity, dating is NOT Biblical because not only does dating usually result in heartache when the two persons involved go their seperate ways, but there is no comitment between the two parties. It was never practiced for cultural reasons. For Christians, dating is not Biblical because God himself does not want people to experience the emptiness and heartache it often brings. For the secular world, however, dating is as normal as taking a nap.

Dating CAN lead to marriage but usually doesn't, unlike courting.
Dating is pointless in my opinion. It usually doesn't work and is a futile effort in actually getting to know someone on an emotional or spiritual level. Dating is stupid!
