Using "dating" as code for sex

[Vink]

Just because you go on a couple of dates with a woman it's not like you're dating her.

I disagree with @pyros. You're not the first person to say it but I vehemently disagree with it every time I hear it. I don't care if it's the way people talk. It contradicts the rules of the English language.

If you go on more than one date with someone, you are literally dating them. It's not a code word for sex. How about we call sex with romance a relationship and we call sex without romance casual sex.

Fk rules of the English language.
If there's no sexual tension, no kissing, you can call it dating but it doesn't make much of a difference.

Yeah sure I get what you're saying. You go on a few dates, there's kissing, tension, so you're dating. You go on a few dates, for whatever reason there's no kissing or tension, you were dating. It didn't work out.

I'm just saying, you want a code word for "We're fcking," how about you say we're skorping? Just make up a word if that's what you want. Dating is already a word and it means to go on dates.

And that’s exactly why women love using it: to hide their promiscuous activities. Same thing they did with “seeing” someone.

Not just women.
"She's just a girl I'm seeing, nothing serious" works a lot better than it should.

Dating means going on multiple dates by very definition of the word. Now, that could all lead to no sex, you can bang a chick 3 times you're not even dating.

The definition of dating, seeing, f*cking etc only matters to the person you're saying it to. What are you really trying to say here?
