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. Internet dating has become popular in recent times.

Although dating etiquette has become more relaxed during the twentieth and twenty first 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.

How do I arrange a date with an indian girl whose parents are against dating?
Q. I know a girl at my high school, and we both like each other and are interested in going out, but her parents are very much against dating, due to their traditional Indian heritage. Is there any way I can manage to go out with her?
Asked by David S - Sat Dec 13 01:13:10 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. I went on a date with a strict Indian girl once and her parents weren't the nicest. Invite along a sibling so they know your not going to do anything and take it slow for a while. The main point is that you make her parents feel comfortable with the fact that you are a different race. After a while try meeting them to help assure them of your "honest intentions". It helps if you have really good grades.

How do you feel about dating an omnivore?
Q. I feel really passionate about animal rights, health, and the environment... basically veganism in a nutshell! I think I could manage to date a vegetarian, but it would be really difficult for me to date an omnivore that would tell me, "I respect your decision, why can't you respect mine?" Because I find it difficult to respect the decision to cause harm and contribute to animal suffering, bad health, and polluting the environment. I was just curious about your opinions! Vegetarians: How would you feel about dating an omnivore? Vegans: How would you feel about dating a vegetarian? How would you feel about dating an omnivore?
Asked by joyfulvegan - Sun Mar 22 18:31:19 2009 - - 19 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I am Vegan. I dont think I could ever get serious with an omnivore. Maybe casual dating, but nothing more. I am also very passionate about animal rights and the environment, and wouldnt consider dating anyone who wasnt. We would be too different. I have never met another Vegan, and even Vegetarians are hard to come by. I would hate to say I am settling, but for now thats what I'm doing. I would love to find a Vegan, but it hasnt happened yet. I can say that I would never marry an omnivore. Could you imagine the problems that would arise there? Not saying I am better than them, just that our ideals would be too different.
