who can tell me the real meaning of dating?

ok i give up...who?

Who cares? He's 6 foot 5, dresses like an Arabian prince!!
Okay, I don't care much for the shirt, but the 6 foot 5 IS impressive

Could it possibly that dating is one time event while relationship last longer than that?

i can not tell you something that is not set in stone (per say)
cause it all depends on the 2 people (well or more) in the dating

Hey look ! It's the famous Sherwani Indian Designs model, here to ask us how to be a better poser! Or whatever they call those guys.

Anyway, I am proud to say that I can tell him the exact correct meaning of "dating."

It is a complicated scientific procedure, in which well-studied experts in various fields, including Archaeology, History, Sociology, and forensics, with the assistance of Chemical analysts and radioactive testing experts, as well sometimes as biologists and even tree-ring reading experts and Historical Weather analysts... all get together to come up with as specific a time of manufacture, birth, death, or other significant temporal labeling as is required for the item in question.

There is also a lesser known secondary definition, which has vaguely to do with humans doing various things together as a way to either decide whether to do more things together, or as a cover story to excuse what they actually want to do, without admitting to each other that that's all it's really all about.

people got tired of sour milk so they started dating the milk now everything has a date on it.

Urban Dictionary says:

Of a couple, to be in the early stages of a relationship
where they go out on dates to find out what each other is like,
as a prelude to actually being a fully fledged couple.

Wiki says:

Dating is a part of the human mating process
whereby two people meet socially for companionship,
beyond the level of friendship,
or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability
as a partner in an intimate relationship or marriage.

It can be a form of courtship consisting of
social activities done by the couple.
While the term has several meanings,
it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging
in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple.

My Take:

It is a verbal and public acknowledgement of
2 people attracted to each other.
And they want both to see where it leads-
Goodbyes or commitment.

It is a couple's act of measuring each others worth for
a lifetime partner and commitment.

I only have my own definition. For me, it entails testing the bond between us both. If communication goes awry between us, then no point in carrying it on with them.

For women it is all about test: congruency test and compliance test, they don't even know they do it, but pass and your in, fail and you kill attraction. Simple as that.

for me dating is just when a couple meets and they get to know each other very well
