In other words, the “seriousness” of a relationship is based on whether the individuals are casual dating” or “in a committed relationship.” Most of the time, “casual dating,” also known as “friends with benefits” suggests that the relationship is not very serious.

In order to be in a committed relationship, both you and your partner need to agree to be “serious” with one another. In other others, you need to invest your time, energy, love, support and affection towards your partner. When you enter into a serious, committed relationship, your main goal is to develop a strong foundation that will last throughout time. A committed couple trusts, respects, loves, supports, values and uplifts one another. This couple communicates and sees each other on a regular basis. They are also heavily involved in each other’s lives.

So, are we dating?
Whether you call it “dating” or something else, both people should agree on a definition and the same ground rules for the relationship. Keep these questions in mind:
Do you have romantic feelings for this person?
Are you and the person you’re interested in both looking for a committed relationship?
Do you hang out or go on dates without a group of friends?
Is the status of your relationship something you’ve shared with others in person or online, like on Facebook?
Do both people in the relationship agree that it’s exclusive?

Don't call too often on the phone or give the other person an opportunity to get tired of you.

Remember that respect precedes love. Build it stone upon stone.
Don't be too quick to reveal your desire to get married--or that you think you've just found Mr. Wonderful or Miss Marvelous. If your partner has not arrived at the same conclusion, you'll throw him or her into panic.
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.
ere's how to date like a MAN.
1. Open doors. It never hurts to be a gentleman.
2. Flowers don't suck. They can be pretty cheesy, but no woman is going to stab you in the face for bringing her flowers. If you want to start a first date of romantically, it's never an awful idea.
3. A fun date is always better than a fancy date. White tablecloth restaurants are awkwardly formal. The kind of divey place with incredible comfort food and skeeball in the back is almost always going to make a better date. But really just put some kind of thought into planning something according to what you think she, specifically, would be into.
Ask her about herself. This sounds basic, but a lot of people just yammer on about themselves when they get nervous.
Play it cool. Don't freak yourself out and start asking her if she's having fun or if her dinner is good 80 times in an hour. Ten times in an hour is more than enough to gauge if she's having fun or not. JUST KIDDING. Don't ask her. Just assume she's having a good time unless she runs away from you screaming. Then it's OK to ask.

Stage 1: Attraction
In the first stage of dating, we find ourselves attracted to a potential partner. This is our initial attraction. It is our hope that the feeling is mutual, that the timing is right, and that we will have an opportunity to explore the possibilities.
Stage 2: Uncertainty
In stage two, the challenge is to recognize a shift from feeling attraction to feeling uncertain if that partner is right for us. This feeling is normal and you should be on alert not to be swayed by it. When you are dating someone who seems very special to you, it is normal to suddenly wonder whether you wish to continue dating that person. To become uncertain doesn't mean that this person is wrong for you. Without an understanding of this stage, it is too easy for a man to drift from partner to partner and for a woman to make the mistake of pursuing a man more than he is pursuing her.
Stage 3: Exclusivity
In stage three, we have made a mutual decision to be in a committed, exclusive relationship. The energy that went into looking for the right person can now go into creating a mutually loving and romantic relationship. You must be careful not to take the situation for granted. Continuing to do the little things that you did for your partner during the early stages of courtship are essential, not only now but for the lifetime of the relationship.
Stage 4: Intimacy
In stage four, we begin to experience real intimacy. We feel relaxed enough to let down our guard and share ourselves more deeply than before. Without an understanding of how men and women react differently to intimacy, it is possible to mistakenly conclude that we are just too different to proceed. This is the time to experience the best in ourselves and our partner, as we also become acquainted with the less flattering sides of our personalities.
Stage 5: Engagement
Stage five is engagement. This is a time to celebrate your love and commitment. You have made the determination that you are with the right person, and you are ready to move forward on your path toward a lifetime relationship. In this stage, you have the opportunity to experience your relationship joyfully, happily, peacefully, and lovingly. You will plan your wedding, discuss your future more fully, and learn even greater acceptance of one another, and your differences.
