I Think Terms Like "Dating" Are Extremely Unromantic!

[Gizmo j]

Terms like "date" and "dating" are extremely formal.

You shouldn't ask a girl if she wants to "go out on a date", you should ask "do you want to HANG OUT"

And if you and her are hanging out frequently and you have a romance you shouldn't tell people you guys are "dating" you should say you guys are "SEEING EACHOTHER".

Asking a girl out on a "date" to me is just like asking "Can I kiss you on Saturday night" -_- You're not suppose to "schedule" things like that!

Another thing I hate is when someone says this is our "anniversary" when you're not married, anniversaries are for married people!

Your deep thoughts reminded me of the OG ones:

 

[brianmanahan]

i kissed dating goodbye™

of course i didn't do courting or bride kidnapping or anything like that as an alternative

i just live alone like a hermit

Just make sure you don't point a Geiger counter at your date.

If you don't clearly state your intentions with a girl, they're going to accept that you only like them as a friend because you didn't communicate otherwise. Men put themselves in the friendzone. Source: I got married at 21. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Well, with the quality of thought in this post, I'm sure you do:

Maybe terms like "My Ho B****," "F*** Buddy," "Friend with Benefits," "Ball and Chain," or something similar might better convey the depth of feeling you have for her.

If you think "hanging out" sounds more romantic than "dating", you might find yourself alone for a while

Marriage>>>Committed Relationship>>> Dating. Everyone knows this.

Women put the kibosh on traditional dating a long time ago. No more relationship test drives.

It used to be that men could ask women out on a "date", a fun evening with companionship. Nothing expected after that night. Men could date multiple women without entering a committed relationship. Only if something romantic grew out one one of these dates would the next step in a relationship commence.

Nowadays if you ask a woman on a date it's expected by the woman that a date IS the first step in a committed relationship.

I totally agree. That way, when the check comes from the dinner and drinks I can ask HER to pay. She'll instantly ask, "You expect ME to pay for this date?" Where I'll reply, "Date??? We're just hanging out, yo!"

Pro tip....If you want to have "relations", do that before you go grab a bite to eat....cause after dinner, you ain't gonna see her again.

Yeah... over 10 years ago.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Just fucking go to dating websites like I did 10 years ago. OkCupid literally had a field for "What are you looking for?" Where the person could say things like "A relationship" which is what most wanted.... Or some that even put "An open relationship".

Regardless, the point I loved about online dating is it immediately eliminated the bullshit. You know what you're there for. You know what they are there for. Thus the awkwardness was largely diminished from stuff like that.

Unless you're a complete idiot like certain individuals here that have names beginning in "dark"

Frankly, arguing about the connotation of words is pretty pointless. Words and phrases mean pretty much what society decides. You can choose to use them differently of course, but then you have to accept that your listeners are bound to misunderstand what you are saying. Perhaps it is easier for you to change the meanings you attach to these terms than to change them for everyone else.

that video is super simplified and stylized however it is spot on.
State your intentions (keep it brief), don’t be Uber accommodating (mysterious as presented, personally I prefer you have value), move on if it doesn’t work.

You dated onions?

You dated onions?

Those onion relationships have so many layers.

And they always make you cry.

How about “You are pretty interesting let’s go out <wherever you want to go with her> Saturday night” then follow up with “I’ll meet you at....”

 

[Torn Mind]

Let's court each other then...

Or should folks simplify the game and simply put up the money and say yes-or-no.
I mean, gold-diggers pretty much are just counting the beans...no love but all the right words...till your in divorce court.

 

[BudAshes]

Seems like you are cheating on ATOT with another forum.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I tried to date a wooden post at a restaurant once, did not go very well and I got arrested. I just wanted to count the rings to see how old it was but starting a chainsaw in a restaurant is apparently not legal. They should put a sign or something, how was I suppose to know!

 

[Fanatical Meat]

While this has some pretty unhealthy ideals it was a great motivator for me to get out and do something.

This was not my experience at all, and I doubt that it's changed that much in eight years.

How old are you?

 

[BurnItDwn]

ask to hang out = make a friend / be a friend
ask on a date = roll dice and try for romance


If you are lonely and want to find love, then ask her on a date.
If you only seek platonic friends, then ask to hang out.
