AnagramsMandarinVerbdating (Pinyin da3ting1, tra 打聽, sim 打听) Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Dating is a form of courtship, and may include any social activity undertaken by, typically, two persons with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity. Traditional dating activities include entertainment or a meal. In many cultural traditions, a date may be arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, acquaintance, or professional matchmaker. Internet dating has become popular in recent times. Although dating etiquette has become more relaxed during the twentieth and twenty first century, there are considerable differences between social and personal values. For example, when an activity costs money (for example, a meal), traditionally the man was expected to pay; but in recent times the practice of "going Dutch" (splitting the expenses) has become more common and more acceptable. With the wider availability of information about traditionally secretive issues individuals are more open about their interest in sexuality both in form of dating language and dress. The difference in expectation of a date in the male / female view of dating is quite marked and clearly shown by the public advice disseminated by popular media, e.g. magazines, which is in stark contrast. The average duration of courtship before proceeding to engagement or marriage varies considerably throughout the world. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I'm already dating a guy from work and we have a great relationship except that nobody at work knows and there are rumors about me dating other guys at work. They know I'm dating but because I don't say who they speculate and that's how rumors start. They also tell my bf that he should date so and so. Anyway, what would be the pros of letting people know who am I dating and what would be the cons? Asked by Susu - Sun Nov 30 20:54:23 2008 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. theres no pro and con about anything when dating someone at work i think just the rumors and gossip are just getting to ya...you just have to pay attention to your life and your bf. don't listen to what people are saying around at work...thats what THEY think and it shouldn't interfere your relationship with him. ignore those comments and let your life be private...if you don't, your just gonna get caught up into jealousy and eventually its gonna ruin the relationship sooner or later ;D see, i answered your question Answered by Peek A-Boo I See You - Sun Nov 30 21:45:37 2008 What is the best free online dating site?

Q. I feel really passionate about animal rights, health, and the environment... basically veganism in a nutshell! I think I could manage to date a vegetarian, but it would be really difficult for me to date an omnivore that would tell me, "I respect your decision, why can't you respect mine?" Because I find it difficult to respect the decision to cause harm and contribute to animal suffering, bad health, and polluting the environment. I was just curious about your opinions! Vegetarians: How would you feel about dating an omnivore? Vegans: How would you feel about dating a vegetarian? How would you feel about dating an omnivore? Asked by joyfulvegan - Sun Mar 22 18:31:19 2009 - - 19 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am Vegan. I dont think I could ever get serious with an omnivore. Maybe casual dating, but nothing more. I am also very passionate about animal rights and the environment, and wouldnt consider dating anyone who wasnt. We would be too different. I have never met another Vegan, and even Vegetarians are hard to come by. I would hate to say I am settling, but for now thats what I'm doing. I would love to find a Vegan, but it hasnt happened yet. I can say that I would never marry an omnivore. Could you imagine the problems that would arise there? Not saying I am better than them, just that our ideals would be too different.
