For the record, it was a Nemo doll... And no, whatever it is that's supposed to be traditional dating doesn't happen too often (at least not in our circles of friends). I think people fear the label, regardless of whatever the label may be. Anyways, let's try to hash this out for all the imaginary readers: "Friends" - Two people that generally enjoy each others company. "Hookup" - At least 2nd Base. "Date" - A meeting of two people engaging in a pre-determined activity. Usually a meal. "Hang out" - Similar to a "Date", except at least one of the people only sees the other person as a "Friend". "Hooking Up" - "Hookup" with (at least) once a week regularity. No exclusivity. "Dating" - "Date" with (at least) once a week regularity. No exclusivity. "Friends With Benefits (FWB)" - "Friends" + "Hooking Up" - "Dating" "Seeing Someone" - "Dating" + "Hooking Up" (No exclusivity) "Dating Someone" - "Dating" + "Hooking Up" (At least one person claims exclusivity) "Relationship" - "Date" + "Hooking Up" (Both claim exclusivity) BONUS: "Going Steady" - Same as "Relationship", except your name is Zack Morris or AC Slater.
