Courtship doesn't work, sorry. It's a Victorian word, used to describe when a man tried to woo a lady, often referred to as someone's daughter. Dating is a much more modern, up to date term that reflects the less formal process undertaken today. :cool:

If that's the kind of banter you're chucking about on these nights out, pretty sure the girlfriend status may elude you.

I seriously don't get this... Do people really have a problem with the idea of 'seeing someone' and not called them your boyfriend or girlfriend? :p

Seeing someone is by definition having a girlfriend or boyfriend albeit more casually than the more formal Girlfriend/Boyfriend with a capital letter. I must admit I haven't heard the term "seeing someone, but she's not my girlfriend" used in the way you have since I was 14....and then it was because they are unsure how the other person actually feels or whether they will look an idiot when she tuns around and says no we are not, when you say she is your girlfriend".....teenage angst and all that.....:p

Not really. My parents use the term "courting" not dating. And they aren't Victorians...

That's not how my friends or I see it. Seeing someone is the precursor to being a couple/officially together/bf & gf.

You go on a first date. If you continue to date, you are seeing eachother, and continue until it fizzles out or you become a couple.

You are dating.......then you are seeing each other (girlfriend/boyfriend, albeit tentatively) then you are a couple (Girlfriend/Boyfriend and jumping about on Oprah's sofa).....:p


The whole "seeing each other" but she's not my girlfriend is all a bit "high School" tbh.....you are simply dating exclusively, until your not.

Can I claim extenuating circumstances, sir? As I said above, we are both moving back to our respective countries in a couple of weeks, and being 'a couple' would make it more emotionally challenging. But all this aside, I hear the term banded about all the time... :confused:

You need to stop hanging out with the Victorian crew. ;)

Highschool or not, pretty much everyone I know considers seeing someone to be the casual and continued dating of someone until it becomes and exclusive relationship, and thus not yet boyfriend and girlfriend.
 
I have been seeing a girl for 6 months and we are not official 'boyfriend girlfriend'

It doesn't really need to be said as i think saying "want to be my girlfriend" is a bit immature. In my head yours seeing each other and after say 3 months if you are seeing each other exclusively and spending a lot of time with each other its taken for granted til the next stage when you give them a key etc.

haha....those pesky Victorians and their etiquette.

When I was young a fortnight was about the limit of any girlfriendiness I could muster anyway......there was too many hot chicks to experience in my immediate vicinity and not enough time to fit them all in.....

Anyway, I'm just messing with ya.....:)
 
This is all so utterly american and gay. In my day you just got on with it. Today's young men are becoming american high school girls. GO BEAVERS
