when does dating become a relationship?? I am probably missing something/or forgot the rules of decorum ..I think dating is a tool to be used to find, eliminate, or investigate if indeed a relationship is possible.
Is there a standard ..a number of dates...like when does dating become a relationship....does'tn both individuals decide this transformation....when does casual dating becoem serious...is time an issue or is it the activity that occurs on the dates change it??

or is this simple a "Men from Mars /Women from Venus" issue

Fire, this is one of the most difficult issues of all time. lol

Some think 5 minutes after meeting, it's a relationship.

Some think after living together for 10 years, they're just dating.

And everywhere in between.

Everyone will have their "should be's" but a set standard will never happen.

I think the way you do when it comes to the definition of dating..."A tool to be used to find, eliminate, or investigate if indeed a relationship is possible."


Like Erin said, Not everybody does it the same ways to achieve the results they want. It does depend on both individuals..no doubt

I guess if a relationship is going to work, it takes two people committed to making it work, regardless of the amount of time.

maybe a little bit of "Men from Mars /Women from Venus" issue too

I GOT IT! I GOT IT! Figured it out while I was doing dishes!

If you're wondering if it's a relationship or can't quite decide or figure it out...it's dating.

If you laugh when you ask yourself this question about your current situation...it's a relationship.

Piece o' cake. lol
