Defining dating

I was listening to the radio on my way home from work today.  The DJ brought up the subject from one of the listeners on letting their daughter date several guys.  Before he went into his answer he said "let me first define the word dating because a lot of you are still confused about that".  I laughed and thought please clarify.  He said, "dating is the get to know you process that leads to something more eventually.  There's no relationship established nor sexual relationship in the works until you both established that.  If yall sleeping together then it's a casual relationship, no agreement has been made so therefore, you can't really call it dating."  So in summary from his definition dating is a friendship basis until discussed otherwise.  Why didn't I know this somehow.  Why when he said it, it made all the sense in the world. I suppose dating is open game, he can still see other people, I can still see other people.  I guess it gets complicated when I made out with you on Friday and you're on a date with another chick on Sat. Should I really be bothered by it?  I guess in legal terms no but then I got to question does he really like me or is he playing games? Can I say that he kissing a lot of other girls make me feel special?  Hmn I don't.  I don't know how a guy does it but that's a lot of energy, money, and effort to be dating more than one woman.  According to the rule I can't be mad, but I will say this unless he has a lot of money to spend (which wouldn't affect him), if he continues to put his energy, money, and effort on you then maybe it's something worth while to hold on to until you do have the talk of establishing a relationship.  Because until then ladies yall only dating right?
