Cuz ST is smart....got into a semantic arguement with friends...what is the difference between dating and going out with someone?

Posted by Capstern Moves Like Jagger (aka Capstern) Nov 4 '11, 13:12

I contend they are the same but friends say dating is serious and regular and going out is casual and no biggie

Yes this came about cause one friend was trying to set me up on a date and I am not interested in daring or going out right now and I said no dating and they said no bigie its just going out

WTF does that mean?

it means your friends are also children, because only children think there's a difference, and it's time to step your game up to adults in all facets. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 13:22 2
- I picture Cappie as Master Blaster from Thunderdome. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 13:24 1
  - 2 men enter - 1 man leaves....That has whole different meaning of Jack said it tho -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:26
Dating has a romantic component or the prospect of a romantic component. - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 4, 13:20
in the seventh grade way, "going out with" is "going steady." who even cares, though? - amanda Nov 4, 13:18 9
- Honestly I found it to be interesting in how people define things. Just like some people say oral sex isnt SEX - and I am like in what planet? -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:19 8
  - it doesn't matter what other people think. ever. -- nm - amanda Nov 4, 13:19 7
    - this -- nm - the rock Nov 4, 13:25
    - Never ever? -- nm - amoxy Nov 4, 13:20 5
      - nope. not if you're a good person who's always willing to answer for their actions. - amanda Nov 4, 13:21 4
        
        For most people, I agree, I don't give a shit what they think, - amoxy Nov 4, 13:24 2
        
        I am like this. I dont think they are trying to make me do stupid things - I think they just want me happy -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:27 1
        
        no - they are trying to get you to do stupid things. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:28
        
        nice -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:23
I thought "going out" was basically the same as "hanging out" which could be just as platonic as romantic. Dating is more serious. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 4, 13:17 3
- not in my generation. I don't know about kids today. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:17 2
  - remember when "hook up" meant "run into"? good times. good times. "I'm going to try to hook up with lu later." "you're what???" -- nm - amanda Nov 4, 13:22
  - yeah we are the same generation I think -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:20
semantically, it's the same in my mind - stuffed pixie Nov 4, 13:17
it means your friends need to back the eff off. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:15 1
- Yeah they want me to go out tonight and I want to sleep, but I feel like a lame ass of I just go home on a friday watch SN and Grimm and love the pups -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:17
it means you need new friends. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 13:15
i guess "dating" points to multiple dates. "going out" is just once. so i can see their point. really they're just doing what they can to talk you - kare Nov 4, 13:14 28
- Ah ok this makes sense. Kare voice of reason. I figured going out/date with someone is well dating... - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:16 6
  - I coudl only wish my friends would have this much tail waiting for me upon divorce. nm -- nm - groiny, bartender Nov 4, 13:17 1
    - If I was in a different headspace - yes this would be very appreciated -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:23
  - Let's spell it out. You do not want to go on dates. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:17 3
    - I disagree and use "blind date" as a reason. -- nm - James Earl Jones Nov 4, 13:23 1
      - why would you want him to do the most miserable thing ever? -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:24
    - And I am not. Told them no. And they made fun of me but dont care - just thought it was interesting the perspectives -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:21
- except, what is the point of just once? they totally want him to date. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:16 20
  - not necessarily. they could just want him to get laid. -- nm - kare Nov 4, 13:17 19
    - That is very possible, but really is that any healthier fo rme than dating? -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:17 15
      - depends on your ability to just go out and have some fun without getting attached. -- nm - kare Nov 4, 13:20 6
        
        I have been trying to figure out if this would be a good personality trait to change... - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:25
        
        this is cappy. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:21 4
        
        i guess you know him a lot better than i do. i was just answering the questions. -- nm - kare Nov 4, 13:24
        
        yup I own that. I am trying during down time to tell myself going out and kissing someone doesnt mean you are in a relationship - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:22 2
        
        you're a serial monogamist because you don't know how to be alone. have you see 28 days, where alcoholics are advised they can get a plant - amanda Nov 4, 13:27 1
        
        Actually for once I will stand up and say no you are wrong. - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:33
      - Please just stay away from women. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:19 6
        
        Really the only woman I hang around is Pip -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:20
        
        YUP!!!! Try a man!!!!! NM -- nm - MHD Nov 4, 13:19 4
        
        why do you hate gays? -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:20 3
        
        now, this is not true at all. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 13:20 2
        
        oh, I thought this was MDH. - loosilu Nov 4, 13:22 1
        
        I did not need an SI, the handle was different. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 13:22
      - maybe if you had to chase her around the house for a bit first? nm -- nm - groiny, bartender Nov 4, 13:18
    - maybe so, but the dude got divorced LAST WEEK. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:17 2
      - and not really interested in being paraded around like prize bull or something and they think its funny -- nm - Capstern Moves Like Jagger Nov 4, 13:18 1
        
        well, I think you're technically a bullock. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 13:20
it means everyone over there are idiots. nm -- nm - groiny, bartender Nov 4, 13:13
