Dating is a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by two persons with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. While the term has several senses, it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple.
The protocols and practices of dating, and the terms used to describe it, vary considerably from country to country. The most common sense is two people trying out a relationship and exploring whether they're compatible by going out together
Svarer dette på spm om hva dating er? Altså date er jo noe som kommer fra USA, å date en er å treffe en med andre ord, men her i Norge sier man ofte, jeg skal på date med en venninne, med andre ord skal møte en venninne for kaffe. Tror folk legger alt for mye i ting som egentlig er veldig uvesentlig. Møter man en så møter man en fordi man har en interesse av personen, med mulighet for mere, eller så møter man en for å bli eller være venner. Er vel ett fett om man vil kalle det date, treff, møte, shalabais, osv osv...
