| Dating is regarded as a social phenomenon where two people who appeal to each other spend time together to assess each other's qualities of character and decide if they can start a long-lasting relationship. Dating is often referred to courting and comes in various social functions and forms, and is usually the first step that a couple takes before concluding whether they are compatible with one another as partners.
Some suppose that dating someone is a way to have an ongoing companionship resulting in a more serious relationship or even marriage, whereas others date to communicate with multiple people at once and are unwilling to start a long-term commitment. Some people date for sex, others hope to meet the one and create a close-knit family.
Generally, there are various types of dating along with a traditional dating form. The diversity of dating types means that every person can make the most of dating experience.
