Some people especially the younger generation thinks that dating is something like getting a boyfriend right away. But it is actually, getting to know each other stage. There are good things about dating and I think, one of the advantages is you get to know a lot of people. You also get to know the kind of person that you want to spend the rest of life with by knowing different personalities with all the people you dated. How about you? Does this make sense? Or when you date do you think right away that you are going to get yourself a boyfriend or girlfriend? What are the advantages?

You got a point about "fate" but in my case I kinda think that your mate our mate, is not a soulmate at all. Getting someone to have a serious relationship is actually about our choices. It is more on our decision whether we are going to make a relationship work when you decided to be with this person or that person.
That's the reason why you are dating because you are going to choose who's going to fit your personality best.

dating is not only for those couples there but also to those single guys and girls. if a guy ask for a date with a girl and the girl says yes, it means that the girl wants to know more about the guy. it is a stage wherein the two will know if they are compatible or not. the advantage in dating is you find the guy that could win your heart. with my partner our first date was watching a movie and he has a chaperon. lol it is not me who has chaperon but him. i was so intrigued with his character so after a couple of dating without chaperon i gave him my heart.

It perfectly make sense, especially when the purpose of dating is finding someone who you will spend the rest of your life with. Dating is really not an assurance that you will establish right away a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, you are right, it is a stage when the boy & and the girl are in the process of getting to know each other. It may start a personal relationship or it may not. You may gain friendship or you may not. But what is important is that we try to get to know each other better before making a commitment in a more serious relationship. This is my thoughts. So, if you are at the right time and the right age, go out and date! Lolz..

Very well said my friend. Dating is not an assurance that you are going to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend right away. You just just have to know the person, not everything though because there are really a lot of hidden things in all people's personality. We cant really say that we know our partner, or our spouse 100%. Life is full of adjustments and that's why we need to date people so adjustments can be lessen a little. Well, I think!

That's right2! You can actually date as many people you want. Dating is also not necessarily done by a couple. Group dates are good too because you are able to know other people and their fields of interest. Its okay to date more than one guy/girl because its just a date. As I said you can even go on group dates. You are actually getting to know someone better and you can do that to all of your prospects. Its just a date, its not like you're cheating or something.

I think when I have a date I just fo find if we have a feeling between us. If she is the right person for me to live with. And I try to judge if her character is matchable to me. I just wanner to make friend first not girlfriend!

That's the reason why you are dating that person because you are trying to know if this person fits your personality. When you found the right one for you, you can actually tell for yourself that that is it.
Its suppose to be that way too, just being friends and not having a girlfriend right away. You need to know first whether the person is also going to do the same thing and try and get to know you better.

I think being with our friends is already a form of dating because you are also getting to know them better. Dating doesnt only mean getting to know the opposite either male or female but also other people. There are also chances of getting involve with a friend and have a relationship with them but some thinks it is inappropriate for others but its okay and it depends on how they are able to get to know each other and establish a relationship.

Than the positive part the negativity seems to be dominant in dating.Usually once they get into dating the temptation of going for another increases.As a result it becomes a never ending habit.Finally they get married to a person and will never be satisfied.Usually it leads to a diverse.They seldom have a perfect married life.

Dating i guess is a prerequisite to a relationship as it defines whether you are 'really happy' and enjoying each others company. It is a very nice experience as you are able to know more about him/her and at the same time of yourself as it opens up interaction that you are able to share yourself or not. Simply put, it is an advantage for all of those who are looking for that special someone in your life...

Exactly! It is the preparation of having a serious relationship. You can actually date a lot of men if you are a woman and you can also date a lot of women if you are a man. But it doesnt mean that you are already having a serious relationship with them. And when you are dating someone it also doesnt mean that you will have an intimate relationship with them. Maybe for some culture its okay for them to do that but normally dating is just a getting to know you stage.

yes, you're right about that. the good thing about dating is you get the chance to know the person first before you take the relationship into more intimate or serious stage. i also believe that love does not come around after your first date even if you get attracted to the person you currently dating with. looks sometimes if not mostly could be the opposite of the inner person. that is why you have to take time, do not rush everything. dating is just the first step in getting to know the right person for you.

Getting to know the person is really very important because it will help you know him or her in a way that will not be intimidating for you and to the other party. As you said, time is very important to know the person. We should not rush into things because if we do so there are greater chances of not getting good results from it. Having a serious relationship with someone is also an important decision that you have to do in your life and in choosing the person for you, you have to be sure of it.
