For me dating is simply just to know & understand each other...now a days people think dating means flirting, trying to do something extra which they should not ....
its an honor that we are adding 1 more person in our best friends list forever...so as a best friend then to help out, to share his/her pain, happiness is what makes bonding between two....
So people must meet when they get any request from other end....
because opportunity once lost will never be back...so grab opportunity & make a bond as a friend, lover whatever....
