Dating can be described as a social or romantic appointment or activity between two individuals or a group, with aim of knowing each other better, to assess each other suitability as a partner for intimate relationship or may be as a spouse. Going-out is an action taken after two people discover their romantic affection for each other. This may include hugging and holding hands but not kissing, usually the step before dating.

Date refers to a time and date, when such meetings are arranged. Sometimes individuals engaged in such activities are also referred as ‘date’. Dating came into concept in the early part of this century. Before that, marriage was the only concept in existence. But these days dating is the most popular concept not only among adults and young people, a large portion of dating community consists of teens.

Dates are generally arranged by a third party. This may be a family member, an acquaintance, or a dedicated matchmaker. Recently matchmaking services have become popular. Although dating rules in Western popular culture have become more relaxed during the 20th century, there is considerable variation between individuals’ values. For example, when the activity costs money, it has traditionally been the man’s role to pay; in recent times the practice of “going Dutch” (splitting the expenses) has emerged. Traditional dating activities include sharing entertainment or a meal.

Types of Dating and Dating Systems

There are many types of dating, perhaps as many as there are people. Everyone has his own view of right and wrong. According to the nature and concept of dating, it can be classified into following categories:

Regular Date – Date between a guy and a girl known to each other.

Double Date - Two couples meet for an activity.

Group Date - Activity shared by two or more couples.

Blind Date - Date where the participants have not met each other personally before. These are usually set up by third party or through internet.

Long Distance/Holiday Dating - Due to a long distance relationship established via internet dates are scheduled on holiday or vacation.

Online Dating – Online dating system uses exclusively targeted websites to meet new people instead of traditional matchmaker.

Speed Dating – In this system a group of people gather at a public place to know each other better. Every single person sits with another single person for a fix period of time. This way a person can choose the best suitable partner for him/her.

Mobile Dating/Phone dating – In this system the medium of showing interest in each other is text messages or multimedia messages through mobile phone. Later people decide to go on a date, after knowing each other.

Tips For A Safe Online Dating Experience

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
Jon Hewitt asked:


Because of the anonymity of online dating, it can be trickier than conventional dating. Appearances and descriptions can be misleading, and unfortunately in other cases, just downright deceiving. By following a few tips, online daters can successfully experience safe dates and avoid being a guest on one of those “disastrous internet dating” talk shows.

Tip #1: Trust your instincts and use common sense. If this person rubs you the wrong way via email, imagine how he or she will make you feel in person. Don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Tip #2: Enjoy your anonymity online. Using your dating service’s secure messaging system, you can communicate without giving out personal information until you feel comfortable. The last thing you need is your very own email stalker.

Tip #3: Be Realistic. Even most reality television shows don’t have happy endings these days. Just because this person sounds like the perfect fit, it doesn’t mean that you should start ordering the wedding invitations just yet. You have to read a book before you can give a real summary. This date might not be your last first date. If it doesn’t lead to a second date, move on to the next person on your list.

Tip #4: In case you’ve been stranded on a deserted island for the past thirty years and fail to realize that unfortunately there are some cruel and sick people in this world, this message needs to be heard. First Dates Should Be in Public! Never ever agree to meet at the other person’s place or to pick them up. Also, be sure and let a friend or family member know your plans for the evening. Stay alert on the first date. If you must have an alcoholic beverage, have only one and do not leave your drink unattended.

Tip #5: Try meeting during the day, perhaps on your lunch break. If the date isn’t going as planned, you have a perfect reason to cut the outing short.

Tip #6: Red Flags. As in all traffic signs, red means stop. Don’t ignore things that leap out at you about the person. These things are warning signs and include such behaviors:

a) Makes disrespectful comments about others. How will the person describe you?

b) Refuses to answer your questions directly. Is the person hiding something?

c) Avoids phone contact. Why? Marriage?

d) Inconsistent information which doesn’t match prior information from profile, chat, emails, and phone calls. Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire.

If the fates are kind, then you will only have pleasant dates as a result of your online matching, but just in case, it’s always good to be prepared.
