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. Recently internet dating has become popular.

Although dating etiquette has become more relaxed during the twentieth 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.

What is dating with a girl and how is it possible for me?
Q. I listen about dating. Is it a chance for me to involve in any free relationship with any girl. How is it and what is the process of dating?

A. When you meet a girl you like, you ask her out on a date. If that goes well you ask her out again. You go on a few dates together to get to know each other and see if you like each other and want to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Then the two of you are an item. You still go out together but its not dating any more because you are in a relationship and sometimes you stay in together.
