Kai W: What’s the difference between “dating” and “in a relationship”?
I don’t do the whole dating thing or whatever too much, but a lot of people agree that there is a big difference between “dating” someone and “being in a relationship” with someone. Could someone tell me that that difference is?

Dating is when your just getting to know the person, and not officially going out with them.. In a relationship is when you call them your boyfriend/girlfriend and its serious.
I would be glad to answer your question. As you already know, you can have a pretty hard time finding “the one” in today’s society. People tend to play games and if your not careful, you can get your heart broken instantly.
Back to your original question about dating and being in a relationship.
Dating someone is pretty much getting to know them. Their is usually no ties, no commitment, in fact the two of you are allowed to see other people. This can be dangerous cause if one person starts to grow feelings quicker than the other, they can be misled. When dating someone you have to be cautious and realize that the chances are high that you are not the only one that this person may be dating.
When it comes to being in a relationship, the two of you have officially made it clear that you are a couple. You are strictly in a one on one comitted relationship. The two of you have made it clear that there is something special between you and that there may be a long term comitment ahead. I hope that answered your question.
