i've never really thought about it but i dont think i have ever been asked out on a "date."
i mean i should have at least gone out on one but i can not recall ever going on one..... its kinda sad from my point of view i must seem like one hell of a bore.....
the only thing i've really done involving a boyfriend was going to a nightclub which i was going to with my friends and he was there.... not much of a date..... hmmm...

Agreed.
These days, the terms 'dating' and a 'relationship' are getting mixed up. Many people think that once you've gone on a date, their obliged to date only each other and only each other, or else it will be considered being unfaithful.
Unless you've actually confessed you're undying love on your dates, then really, you're not bound to each other until you've both come to agree that your relationship have actually developed into a real romantic 'relationship'. (But then again, even if you confessed your undying love but not yet confirmed that you are now in a relationship with each other, you're still allowed to date other people; just in this case, the person your dating is given permission to use the term, 'lying bad word' when they see you sucking on somebody Else's face)
Personally, my definition of dating is going out with a person to have fun and get to know each other. A date can determine whether you want to continue seeing that person or just to call it quits, there and then. Dates are also a good way to find your one and true significant other; so for many people, dates are just a one time thing. Just because you asked a person out on a date once, does not exactly mean you want to start a relationship with them. It either means:
1. You'd like to start a relationship with her/him but your testing out your relationship first by going out on an intimate and just the two of you outing, to see if he/she's really the person you think they are and to see if you'd like to continue on interacting with them in a romantic way.
Or
2. You just dating for fun and you think they'd be nice to hang out with.
Metaphorically, dates are like dipping your feet into the water before you jump in. Stupid metaphor but English was never my best subject anyway.
BTW. No matter how many dates you've gone out with the 'other', it's not a relationship until you both know it's a relationship. So despite all the dates you've gone out with the 'other', both you and the 'other' are aloud to see other people until the confirmation is clear.
