[nabs-l] Dating and relationships

[Antonio M. Guimaraes]

Melissa,

You ask a good question, and make a good point.

To go out on a date, and to be in a relationship are two distinct things, 
but the line is blurred when you consider that, for the most part, people go 
out on dates to get to know the other person better. This is, I think, 
typically to get to know the other person better in a romantic sense.

If I go out to dinner with a female friend during convention, are we on a 
date? Not necessarily.

Still, going on dates is clearly not yet being in a relationship, but when 
two people are in a relationship they are said to be dating, or going 
steady, or going out.

But if I just go out to dinner with a friend, we are not dating.

English is a funny thing.

works in Braille.
