I consider Seeing someone to be casual, no commitment, getting to know eachother to decied If you want to date them.

And Dateing to be exclusive with commitment

[coollady1957]

In my opinion there is no difference.

[Day_Walker]

They both pretty much mean the same thing.

I'm actully under the opinion that there IS a difference, a very BIG difference when it comes to the level of commitment. I've come to this conclusion based on my own experiences with different men and also from what I have been told by my male friends.

 

When a guy says that they are dating you they are your boyfriend and you are their girlfriend. But if he says you are only seeing each other then while you may go out on dates he is NOT your boyfriend.

If you are seeing someone then it is a casual thing, you are not boyfriend/girlfriend and there is little or maybe no commitment

 

when you are dating then you are committed to each other and can call each other boyfriend and girlfriend

 

it is all v. confusing really :s

no difference to me....

[finewhine]

Same thing. To me, anyway.

[jessicake]

i think it depends on the person who says it!

 

to me, they both mean casually with someone with not a huge commitment.
