Define "dating."
When someone says "I am dating ____ (insert name)," it could mean they are boyfriend-girlfriend, they are going to the movies and out to eat on a consistent basis, they are going home together after the bars, or they're just doing the horizontal hump. Basically, dating could entail anything more than friends without benefits at least.
So what in the hell is dating exactly? Is it how you coin a relationship, or just a PC way of saying "fucking"? Can someone please explain it to me so when I talk about my relations I know how to "DTR" (Define The Relationship) ... because that's hard to do when I can't even define dating.
I wanted to know what you thought dating is defined, so I asked via my Facebook page, and here are some of the responses I got from my request to define dating ...

Some people will be ringing in 2011 with someone they will never see again. That's according to an article from Lemondrop, you're more likely to have a one-night stand on New Year's Eve than any other time of the year.
A survey from intimacy products manufacturer Wet has found that 33 percent of women admitted that they were more likely to have a one-night stand on New Year's Eve than on any other night of the year.With another 29 percent of respondents saying they'd hooked up with a co-worker at a holiday bash, now's the time to spark up a conversation with your office crush. And you might want to show up prepared for some action: 57 percent of women said they'd snuck off for a quickie during a holiday gathering.
If you're going to do the NYE one-night stand, you should plan properly for it. That means, get a box of condoms. If this is a one-night stand and you won't see this person again, there's no need to hide your freak flag.
Make sure you two have enough money between you to pay for a hotel room. This is good in case either of you have stalker tendencies. Keep in mind that hotel rates in Uptown Charlotte will be expensive for two reasons: the bowl game that's in town and the holiday. You might have better luck near the airport getting a room. But after you drive all the way out there, you might change your mind.
Don't let the norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide, and the hormone prolactin fool you into thinking there's more there than it really is. You're just satisfied.
Even if you and your one-night stand decide to see each other again, a new study dooms your relationship.
Couples who had sex the earliest - such as after the first date or within the first month of dating - had the worst relationship outcomes."What seems to happen is that if couples become sexual too early, this very rewarding area of the relationship overwhelms good decision-making and keeps couples in a relationship that might not be the best for them in the long-run," study researcher Dean Busby, of Brigham Young University's School of Family Life, told LiveScience.
Making a New Year's resolution makes about as much sense as turning a robe backward and calling it a Snuggie. But this concept, for whatever reason, appeals to the masses. I mean, why pick one day of the year to resolve to be better?
Shouldnt we resolve for self-improvement all 365 days of the year so we dont have to cram?
So fuck a New Year's resolution, make year-round resolutions. Here are some suggestions.
Resolve to take risks. Playing it safe should be kept to a game of slow pitch softball.
Dont be afraid to fall. Its better to have a broken heart that can heal than a closed heart that can never feel.
Resolve to distinguish between your friends and frenemies, and to love your haters.
Resolve to throw out the to-dos and to-dont lists and just do more of what you want to do vs. what you need to do. Dont be miserable a second of 2011. (Six month doctor check-ups and jury duty excluded. Those are necessary)
Resolve to tell the inner critic in your head to shut the front door, and silence all negative and worrisome thoughts.
Resolve to say yes anytime someone asks you to dance even if they arent cute and you have no rhythm. It beats sitting out in the corner.
Resolve to talk to strangers even though your mom told you not to when you were a kid.
Resolve to live like you're on stage life isn't a dress rehearsal.
Resolve to follow the golden rule and treat others the way you want to be treated, and be sure to treat yourself that way, too.
Resolve to go to the gym but not just because you want to lose weight but because exercise releases endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Resolve to be happy!
But in regard to an actual New Year's resolution, may I suggest resolving not to pay $80 to get into an over-crowded party where the open bar runs dry by 10 p.m. And who cares if you don't have anyone to kiss when the clock strikes midnight were not all on a deadline like Cinderella. Life isnt a fairytale. But that doesnt mean we cant all live like its one.
So the best resolution we can make is to live happily ever after.
