Dating. The concept and purpose of dating has drastically changed, from the days of before to our current time.


When one decides to spend time with another person, they dedicate many things to the individual. First, they dedicate their time. Time is something that is irreplaceable. To choose to spend time with another individual demonstrates a great deal of respect. It should be noted and much more respected. Second, one who spends time with another individual also dedicates a level of trust. When you are one on one with an individual, you trust yourself to be in the presence of the individual. You may also trust them to share even the most basic information, such as your name.


When one is together with another, it is important to use that time to know one another. This gives both individuals the opportunity to connect with one another. For example, if two individuals were to spend their time not communicating with one another, both will still become strangers at the end of the day. Sure, both were able to spend time with one another, however they were not able to create connections with one another. When two individuals do take the time to create connections, they will surely find something that keeps them talking. Having a conversation regarding your favorite television show is bound to keep the communication going, rather than a conversation regarding the weather that is occurring.


So, you can spend time with an individual. How should one go about, in terms of dating? There are two concepts that one must learn. They are the concept of dating and the concept of hanging out.


Hanging out. This occurs when the two individuals to suddenly decide to spend time with one another. There is no prior planning to what activity the two individuals will do.

Instead, spend time with an individual through the concept of a date! Dates are planned by one or both of the individuals. They should involve activities that encourage communication between the two individuals. This communication, revolving back to the beginning of this blog, connects the two individuals.
