When two ultra hot people get naked and make the beast...oh wait!  You said dating, not mating.  Ummmmm errrr...feeling weird.  Regrouping.\n\nDating is when you casually see someone outside of the bedroom without being committed to them.  You can see them once, twice, three times a lady, because timing isn't a factor.  \n\nWhen you date someone exclusively with some kind of commitment, you are now in a relationship.

There is a huge difference.  Attitude and feelings are the main difference.  You can f  anyone but you can only truly make love to someone you really love and care about.

"Dating" implies that you're not exclusively dating each other.  You may be casually seeing two or three different people.  \nThere really is no set time period for the transition from casual dating to a boyfriend/girlfriend situation.  For some, this happens immediately, while for others it's a slow, gradual process.  It's not at all uncommon to find you have instant chemistry and can't even think about dating others.  On the other hand, some people are friends for months or years before they transition to a "relationship".  \nA significant event, while defined by some as a sexual encounter, is the mutual realization that neither of you wish to date other people.  In my experience, this isn't something that is controlled or set.  You can't put it on a calendar, it just happens.  You wake up one morning and realize that you're happiest when you're with that person.  \n\nMy relationships have varied.  I was friends with one person for three years before we became a couple.  In another instance, I knew after our second date that he was the guy for me.  (Incidentally, we're still together... we've been married for 6 years!)

Being in a relationship is a commitment not only in terms of the relationship and to that person but also in terms of time and a life style change.  Maybe a guy just isn't ready to change his life or commit to just one person at this stage in his life.

Try friendship instead of dating .There is a difference .Dating is more of a commitment . Friends are" call you just to chat or hang out". "whatever" .Doesn't matter if your busy it's OK .Dating where are you going , who with , why can't we go together ,etc.,.That mistrust may kick in and what if you start the like the new friend more ? The new friend in the same situation , in a relationship , same sex as you are or single and wanting you to go to the clubs ? There's reasons married people (many) hang out with other couples as they understand the commitment and don't try to impose a single life on the other couple .If it is someone opposite sex as you then your mate will fell threaten and chances are so would you .

Dating is less serious... like if you go out with someone... doesn't mean that you have any kind of commitment... it's just like maybe you go out to dinner with them...  a boyfreind/girlfreind there is a commitment, you belong to each other.  I think the difference is mainly the commitment...

Well, knowing only what you've written I will assume you mean dating to be "having sex."  You are two things:\n\n1.  Stupid\n\n2.  Immoral

Dating is like an interview. You are basically selling yourself.

I'm having the same problem myself. The way I decided to solve my problem, was to be great friends, but casual daters. If you value your relationship (as friends and lovers) talk about it...over chinese food or pizza or something. Really talk about if you think the relationship will last more than a month and what would really change once you 'officially' started dating. would there really be a difference in how you act around each other other than physically (i.e. hand-holding, kissing, etc.)?

ummm, hardly any difference when what results is the same,\ntechnically you can call an open relationship as consentual cheating, wherein both partners know that they might be or are sleeping with other men, and no one has the balls to object to it, as both are at fault.\n\npersonally for me an open relationship is like having a spare tyre, you know that at the end of the day if you dont find your catch for the day you still have someone to go to for pleasure. it disgusts me.\n\nif you can't be committed then dont be in a relationship, open relationships i feel are mockery of 'relationship', and committments & values. \n\nwe gays are always blamed for not knowing the values of a relationships, and is it not ourselves who have gotten this by our own doing? \n\nfor all out there reading this, if you feel the need to sleep around and explore please dont get into a relationship and mock its sanctity by calling it an open relationship.

Meaning with another person:\nIf your committed, then your committed. There are no other limits. If your not, then you both better deciede how far into your relationship you each are and go from there.

It's so wonderful.  Congratulations!\nHonestly, just do what feels natural.  Don't worry about what people tell you what you should and shouldn't do - every relationship is different.\nI've found that the most important things you can have in a relationship is HONESTY.  If you aren't honest with someone, you clearly don't respect them.  I respect you and your request, which is why i'm honestly answering your question.\nHaha, not that i'm someone special...i'm just demonstrating my point.\nAnyway, honesty is important, and it's also important to make sure you...YOU...get used to being honest to your girlfriends in the future (unless you two last forever, which is a mixed blessing...because dating around is AWESOME and one of the best ways to learn about yourself and other people).\nGood luck!

Actually, there is a difference. Dating, well...I'm sure you know what it is.\n Courting is sorta like dating, but it is slightly differ ant and now, the only people who really do it much are those who are religious and actually care about saving sex for marriage and people who are looking for someone to marry. Courting is not a 'sport', as some would describe dating. Anyway, say a guy wanted to court you...first he would ask your parents for permission and if they said yes, you and him would start hanging out together with either groups with your friends or family. You wouldn't hold hands or kiss or anything physical. You'd only be getting to know each other. If you ended up really being attracted to each other and you decided you would like to get married, your would both ask your family's advice and then the guy would ask your dad for your hand in marriage and you would get married. Big difference from dating!

LOVE is a feeling, a true feeling that is devoted to someone else by yourself.\n\nSEX is a physical interaction between two (or many).\n\nOnly different is money can buy you SEX but NOT LOVE!

love is somethin that comes from your heart.it is more of acceptance of the person no matter who she/he is.it is self-sacrifice,enduring and understanding. of course love and romance are different coz romance may or may not involve love.romance is when you and your partner have mutual understanding, compatible in many ways but does not necessarily mean that you love each other. its maybe like you are together because you like each other.
