platonic dating

a friendship which is usually stronger than most; if you were to date, there would be no difference in how you act around one another, except for an addition of possible kissing and similar actions; it's similar to dating without the title or actual sexual actions; the emotional part of dating is there, but that's it

A: why do you and C always text each other goodnight in such a sappy way?

B: we're platonically dating
A: you're what? platonic dating?
B: we're just friends but we as well be together without the actually kissing
A: oh cool

dating down

Dating someone of a much lower caliber than you have in the past or are worthy of.

Friend #1 - 'Wow! She left a Biochemist with a Ph.D and a six figure salary to date a drugged out, abusive, divorced waiter who can't keep a job!'

Friend #2 - 'Yeah, no kidding... She was REALLY dating down with him! Good thing she finally got it together and left that loser!'

Mental dating

Dating a celebrity whom you have a huge crush on in your head since you do not stand a chance to actually date him/her. Tweeting numerously at the particular celebrity's account to get his/her attention is the best way to know if one is mentally dating a celebrity.

- So wassup with you? You married or something?
- No. but I'm mental dating a celebrity.

Couch Dating

When you go to date someone who doesnt take you out anywhere except their couch, only to watch movies and play video games, etc. all while ordering delivery food.

I was just hoping for a romantic stroll through the park for a few dates but this guy is into nothing but couch dating! Its fun the first few times, but not all the time!

Dafting

Dancing to Daft Punk music.

As soon as that new Daft Punk song came on the radio, everyone stopped what they were doing and began dafting.
