i think dating really is just dating. going / hanging out with someone. no commitments whatsoever

@kachich1
No commitments? Hmm. But may I ask.."We don't usually do something without a purpose right?"



So don't you think that dating has purpose?
For example, dating is a way to get to know someone. 
Contrary to what people mostly believe, dating is a serious matter. Do you believe that?

Dating is an important stage whenever you establish any type of personal relationship with another person. This is the stage where your get to know a person beyond just a name and a face. Of course it can blossom to something more or just stay in a more stable and non-romantic long term friendship.
