Dating is when you're both trying to find out how compatible you are for a relationship and a relationship is something more serious that almost certainly leads to marriage. That's why a guy or girl may decide to date more than a person while trying to figure out who they'll enter a serious relationship with. But so many people who confuse themselves, just like you, will have sex during the dating period, complicate issues, and when the dating is called off, they feel as if a relationship was called off. That happened simply because they jumped a step. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The difference between dating and being in a relationship is commitment. If you are going out with someone on a regular basis, and you and your partner have agreed to date only one another, then you are in a committed relationship. However, if you are dating a person and neither of you have agreed to date exclusively, then you are not in a relationship and you are both free to also date other people. 1 Like |

Blackett:I think what you're trying to explain is difference between dating and courtship. When you're dating someone, you're in a relationship with the person. I will call it a romantic relationship. You may not really attach importance to it but it doesn't mean you're not in a relationship with him/her.. There are things binding you to the person so, it's definitely s relationship. Asking the difference between dating and relationship is like asking the difference between London and England. Relationship on it's own covers a whole lot. There are different kinds of relationships. One is romantic and others are not. But talking about the romantic relationship, whether you're dating for the fun of it or not or you've even gotten higher to courtship, you are in a relationship. Dating is more or less a branch of relationship. And BTW, dating and courtship is actually the same thing. Courtship is just a higher step into "the relationship". 1 Like |

AgapeCharis:Nope. If I date 10 girls within 2 months, did I court 10 girls? |

AgapeCharis:So was I typing in german when I said a relationship is the next step after dating? I can date 10 people within a space of 2 months but I cannot say I've been in a relationship with 10 people. |

Blackett:When you're dating someone, you're in a relationship with the person. The fact that you're taking it higher doesn't mean you're just starting the relationship. Maybe I don't know your meaning of dating. What is your meaning to the word "dating"?? |

Blackett:Definitely no. But when you woo her and she accepts, then, you're in a relationship and it's also termed dating 1 Like |

AgapeCharis:Good. Now you're getting there. When. When I woo her and she accepts. I have only asked her out. I have not decided to woo her. I may also woo her, and she refuses. Until I propose and she accepts, no relationship will be formed. Can you now see with your own eyes the difference between dating and relationship? The same way I asked her out for a movie date, I can ask another 9 girls. The time I spend with them separately on subsequent dates will help me form a better opinion about them, and them, about me. All those factors combined will play a part in my choosing one out of the ten, to start a relationship with, which is subject also, to her saying yes. Hope you gerrit. . . |

Blackett: ![]() ![]() We're saying the same thing using different terminologies. You can ask a number of girls out on a date but it doesn't mean there's something official. Until you propose and she accepts, then a relationship is formed. Agreed! Maybe the confusion was in I representing "relationship" with the conventional word we use for it which is dating. |

AgapeCharis:I cleared that confusion in my very first comment, but you were in a rush to tell me how "london is the same as England" and ended up roping yourself. . . |
