Hmmm.. Yeah, what's with all this label and define? lol... I dunno. I would say it's basically what the dictionary said. Going out and doing something social with the person.
When I got together with my girlfriend, it wasn't like that. We didn't go "out on a date" and decide we like eachother, lol.. It just kinda happened. But now that you mention it, maybe it's a good question. I'm not sure what I would call our relationship. That's funny.. lol..
"going out", "seeing eachother", "we're together", "dating", "going steady"? lol... I guess all would apply.
What's the next step? "getting married"? Ack.. :Q
lol
