Lightly Dating

Where both people have been open about their feelings for each other and are currently doing dating activities together, but have not made the full commitment of actual dating.

Different from casual dating in the sense that both parties are desiring a deeper commitment and does not entirely include using the tags "Boyfriend/Girlfriend."

Me: Yeah we're just lightly dating right now.

Friend: Oh cool, when are you gonna actually ask her?

Me: idk yet man, we're just waiting.
