What is your definition of Dating compared to a Relationship? Sounds simple but there are a lot of confused women out here in our society. I and other men don't like sending the wrong signals and vice versa. So what is your take. Men, you can reply as well. Later...

To me "dating" is just meeting a man for a short time to share
time and an activity like dinner or movies. I am NOT having sex
with you if I am "dating". I am getting to know you while "dating"
Relationship: I am doing everything with you, we are having sex,
we are working toward a future together with a shared goal.
(Whatever that shared goal maybe it could be different things for
different couples. Maybe LTR, maybe marriage. Your personal call)
I will be meeting other men while I am "dating" because to me that's
what "dating" is. Trying to find the man for me. I will not commit
to a man over 10-100 dates unless by some strange miracle we
find out over that time WE are made for each other and we agree to a
honest, faithful, respectful COMMITMENT.
I personally will never do the "girlfriend" thing ever again.
Just my choice. I will "date" till I commit.
So far my pattern seems to be "Serial Monogamist"

Dating is just getting to know you. Dinners, movies keeping things simple.
A relationship means more of a commitment and being just with him as he is with me.

A Relationship, means "Going Steady" to me. (to those born in the '50s. It implies exclusivity.
Dating is "seeing" some casually. You may be dating others as well.

Dating means dating... not to the level of long term commitment. You are right about one thing.... men and women have different views on this. As a woman, you have to be careful when you say I'm dating a couple of different guys ... because if you use that term with a man ... it means your sleeping with all of them!

Dating to me is going out and doing things together, but no committment or monogamy. If it is a relationship, then we have agreed to only date one another with a committment to try and work on a long term partnership.
I make it clear that I am looking for a LTR right up front. If the man is not, then there is no use in wasting our time meeting. If I am interested in someone after a first meet, then it will be a subject that will eventually transpire again, if we continue to date one another and feelings start to develop. You have got to be on the same page and have the same goals or someone will "assume" to much and get hurt.

Dating - means that one has options at his/her disposal to date and enjoy activities with - in hope to one day select the best person that has the greatest chemistry with him/her.
Relationship - someone is committed to one person to do a variety of dating and romantic activities with.

Sorry to say it depends on the person!To clear up any confusion i would tell the woman what your looking for up front... Dating: you see that person and others but if your dating for awhile she expects for you only to see her..Relationship:you see that one person and no sleeping around If you want to have fun go out and see other women and sleep with other women then its not called dating its called"Hanging Out Together".
All the best

I agree that dating is simply getting to know someone and see if there is the potential for a relationship or is it going to be just friends or get away from me..don't call me or text me or e-mail me ever again.
A relationship to me is when two people are ready to commit to one another in that they are only seeing each other. No one else.

To me dating is all about the dance between two people, to find out their interests, likes, dislikes, compatability, sharing their thoughts, and see if there is mutual attraction. Its okay to dance with others while dating, just not sharing intimacy. You save that for the one that gets you, both inside and out and that you find you look forward to spending your time with, being able to smile when you think of that person, and the one that you like making happy and that makes you happy.

Dating is a way of finding out if someone is a person you could be in a relationship with. It is like the getting to know them stage. A relationship is when you have decided that yeah, this might work, the two of us could have a future and are only seeing each other.
